Baz Luhrmann's take on the Moulin Rouge starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor is lush, dense and ripe for a burlesque special hosted by the Absinthe Fairy!
The year is 1899, and Christian, a young English writer, has come to Paris to follow the Bohemian revolution taking hold of the city's drug and prostitute infested underworld. And nowhere is the thrill of the underworld more alive than at the Moulin Rouge, a night club where the rich and poor men alike come to be entertained by the dancers, but things take a wicked turn for Christian as he starts a deadly love affair with the star courtesan of the club, Satine. Join us for an excessive and sumptuous night Saturday night out!
