From the team that brought you A Trip Across The Universe: Music and Lyrics by The Beatles comes Le Burlesque Au Moulin Rouge.

Set in the Jardin de Paris, at the foot of the Montmarte Hill, Le Burlesque Au Moulin Rouge is a tale of caution. "A story about love...", it follows a young artist's trip halfway around the globe to discover life. He's immediately immersed into the Bohemian Culture, the mysterious drink absinthe and the ecstasies and dangers of the Burlesque Lounge at the famous Moulin Rouge.

Le Burlesque Au Moulin Rouge features songs from both films including Lady Marmalade, Your Song, Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend, The Show Must Go On, But I'm A Good Girl, Something's Got A Hold Of Me and many more!

Dates: 4-13 October, 7.30pm
Venue: Gryphon Theatre, 22 Ghuznee Street
