Our show just finished. It was very entertaining. My advice to people wanting to go is as follows: - go on the 11pm show, arrange transport beforehand, glam it up if possible - those massive annoying tour groups usually go to the earlier show - take a nap before dinner if possible - the cloak room costs €2 - don't...

We went last night. Queue to get in was long to get in. It's an old theatre with creaky floor boards, old carpets and decor. We were rushed in as the show started and packed in like sardines. The waiters are rude and there is little room to move once seated. The show was good. All sung in French. Excellent... More

I enjoyed this experience, it was a bit pricey for my liking but the overall experience was worth it. I went with a tour group so it was great to sit around and eat a fancy dinner and have a few drinks. From what I remember the wine was part of dinner so by the end of the show we... More

We attended the first show of the evening but did not take dinner thanks to the poor Trip Advisor reviews of the food. We had good balcony seats and lovely cold champagne. The show was as expected, slick dancers, great costumes, a few cheesy interludes and audience participation! (I was a little disappointed that the famous can can performance was... More

The performance was average. When one considers the hugh cost (Euro 99) it is not worth it. Our experience with the waiters at the show was bad. The waiter never asked us if we wanted champagne but he did ask other guests near our table. Our neighbours were all white people and we are brown coloured. This is clear racism... More

I've seen most travel shows will advise steering clear of the Moulin Rouge, that it is the ultimate form of touristy attraction. Having read the history of the show, certainly the current version of it is more Las Vegas then 19th Century Parisian and don't expect anything like the movie. That being said, having seen the show, I found it... More

I am surprised to see some of the negative reviews on here about this show. So let me help by saying this show is known in Paris as the French Can Can. Read up on the show before you pay a lot of money to go to make sure it is your thing. Nudity is not my thing, but I... More

After all the negative reviews I had read about this venue, I must admit that I was not looking forward to going, however I was extremely surprised and pleased that we went. Upon entering the theatre we were impressed with how plush it looked in the foyer, and in the theatre itself. The tables were perhaps a little close, but... More

Moulin Rouge was sooooooooo much fun!!!! If you are a fine arts critic, yes maybe you wouldn't enjoy it as much, but if you want glitzy, glamorous, costumes, beautiful women, (and men, I might add), and sheer entertainment you HAVE to go to this show!! You can't really hate on something that has been around for so long! It was... More
