I would give the show a 4.5/5 and a 0/5 for the food. The show was really excellent and entertaining (aside from this one part that seemed a little dragged out) and was much better than I remembered. Amazing costumes, gorgeous dancers, and fun surprises! My only advise is DO NOT eat dinner at the show. For the price you pay it is NOT worth it. The food was extremely weird... not tasty at all and tasteless and just don’t. Save your money and go to a restaurant near by. But going back to the show - it’s a must see in Paris. Some people don’t understand the artistic and historic side of Moulin Rouge, but you have to go into the show thinking that way otherwise you don’t really know what your watching.

Aside from the fact that it is a historic venue the stage is placed to provide a great view from any seat in the house. Book in advance as it is always sold out, which means prepare for very crowded seating throughout. They fit as many people as possible for each and every show, so unless your group takes up an entire table you will be seated with others. My advice is to have a meal before arriving, and just sit back and enjoy the show. The performance is the main attraction, and you will not be disappointed.

Three times that I have been here. First time was years ago and I was sitting at the second table very close to the stage. That experience was unforgettable. The second time was quite bad, far away from the stage and the show was getting a little to cliche. This time (3rd time) the show was excellent as there were some new exciting performance added. I am not sure if you buy a dinner with the show you can get seated closer to the stage but if you can then it is worth buying a seat closer to the stage as it can greatly enhance your experience. It is great to see this venue to continuously update and add new ideas to their show to attract returning tourists to Paris.

The cast was hired for their looks and it shows. They lip-sync their way through the pre-recorded music and can't coordinate the relatively simple choreography. They're all very beautiful people, but that's all they've got going for them. The singers and musicians that laid down the music in the first place are clearly talented, though. The individual acts were the saving grace of the show. A rollerskating couple, a couple with a hoop, and two amazing male acrobats were very entertaining and gave great performances. The staff were all very friendly, even the security. You'll be paying for the prestige of the place in your ticket price, so decide if 200 euros is worth it for a night of people with 5% body fat lip-syncing in various states of undress.

Moulin Rouge was an extraordinary show we witnessed in Paris. So many dancers and performers well synchronized their acts. Many female dancers were scantily dressed, but it was not vulgar, it was done artistically. Between the dances, there were other performers on skates, acrobats and jugglers. The timing of the acts was precise and superb. We had wine and some snacks and enjoyed the show thoroughly.
