About this show
A Scottish reimagining of Moulin Rouge bursting with wild energy, fierce humour and heart-pounding spectacle. Set in a world of glamour, this show blends soaring romance, bold characters and riotous Scottish wit with breathtaking dance, music and storytelling. Passion collides with chaos as dreamers, lovers, rogues and misfits chase truth, beauty, freedom and love against the backdrop of a dazzling, rebellious cabaret. This is a whirlwind of emotion and electricity. A celebration of Scotland’s spirit, swagger and soul. Reinventing the Moulin Rouge creates Moulin-Esque, which combines satire and a wee dram of scandal.
