Just a mini mini revue for you folks that like a rocking night out. Moulin Rouge is a big recommend. Is it the best or deepest musical ever? No, but lots of discussion on the way home last night. Is it Hedwig? No. Hamilton? Dear Evan Hanson? No. ( at least according to my wife )
But if you enjoyed Beautiful, We Will Rock You, Million Dollar Quartet, Bright Star, Memphis, Kinky Boots, Jersey Boys etc. you are going to love this.
The story is somewhat predictable but the song selection, choreography, and performance is off the hook. The encore ( I love theatrical encores like in Beautiful when she sang I feel the Earth Move ) was substantial and had the entire Benedum audience on their feet and singing and dancing. It delivered what many of us need, and evening of smiles, dancing and good times.
