PARTERRE BOX

REVIEW: We’ve Been Through the Mill: Moulin Rouge! on Broadway (for Parterre Box)

For all of its winking loucheness, the show is utterly devoid of any real suggestion of sex.

A thrillingly full-throttle rarity, with much to celebrate in the fine singing here.

Within minutes, something wonderful happened, and none of my reservations mattered.

A radiant performance showcased the exceptional work done here by gifted young singers.

This 11 CD collection confirms Fassbaender’s status as one of the greatest interpreters of recent times.

Adams, superb at crafting arcs of sound, can’t handle characters or narrative.

Does this legendary production, seen in close-up, retain it’s greatness? Yes… and no.

Even the hit songs in this early Jule Styne musical would recede in a better show.

As a cohesive evening of music drama, this ambitious double bill doesn’t quite add up.

To resurrect this astonishing show at all in a brief time frame is almost miraculous.
