Truth. Beauty. Freedom. Love.

It was my first time seeing this show and honestly, I don't even think I could call it a show. That was an experience. That was a party. One that I get to go to again and again. I went into sensory overload as soon as I got into the theatre. As I walked in realizing the show started in its own way. Won't spoil that. Just know there are swords! What a beautiful set design. It's a feast for the eyes. Every single person should be proud of what was on display.

❤️ | Getting to see Courtney Reed and Derek Klena as Satine & Christian was a real treat. How lucky was I? How lucky was I to see Ricky Rojas play Santiago again (he's back in the role after some time away)? I just kept saying to myself how lucky was I. This entire company is so special. Seeing Sophie Carmen-Jones as Nini was a treat too. That voice! Whew. The icing on this very fun cake was seeing Boy George as Harold Zidler. What fun it must be to be back on Broadway. What a heck of a show to do that with. I can't stress enough how lucky I was to experience this company. So. Yummy.

You gotta come into this knowing you're about to be dazzled. Much like the film, it's a spectacle but in all the good ways. You will be wowed. I'd be concerned if you weren't. The music was great. I loved how my audience would get tickled when a song would begin. Unsure of how the arrangement of a song so well known would go. I loved to look around and see happy faces rediscover their favorite tunes in new ways. I'll never hear Bad Romance the same way!!!

🖤 | I feel I must see it again. My eyes missed something. I know it. The theatre was utilized so well. Every inch of that space made you feel like you were at a party. Activities were happening all around me. I missed something. Counting the days until next time I'm at Moulin Rouge.

P.S. The itch to go back to Paris is so strong now.
