After two deferments, 12 of our members finally got to see the musical Moulin Rouge. It was a very energetic, colourful and at times dramatic performance. For those who remembered the film it was very similar but the songs that wove through it were an extremely clever mix of many current ones, especially the love songs. We came away in awe of the talented performers. Their ability to act, sing and dance and their energy levels are something to be truly envious of.
The sets were simple but strikingly lit and the blue elephant an inspiring sight. As would be expected the costumes ranged from elegant to raunchy and we also had the can-can girls in their colourful skirts.
All-in-all a performance worth waiting for.
