<h2>Moulin Rouge&nbsp;</h2>
On this day 5 years ago, the Colonial reopened its doors with the first EVER performance of&nbsp;Moulin Rouge. Inspired by the popular film by Baz Luhrmann, the Boston pre-Broadway tryout took place during the summer of 2018. In 2021, Moulin Rogue! went on to win 10 Tony Awards, including best musical, best choreography and best direction of a musical.
