Booking & Theatre Info For Moulin Rouge! The Musical
Performances of Moulin Rouge! The Musical are at the Piccadilly Theatre. The venue boasts three different levels with the premium seating being found in the centre of the Stalls section and at the front of the Dress Circle for theatregoers who prefer looking down at the stage from an elevated level. There is very little restricted view seating within the Piccadilly Theatre making it an ideal venue to take advantage of the cut off points from the different price bands which can help to bring the cost down as this is currently one of the West End's most expensive shows. There is also some value to be found in the Grand Circle for patrons looking to book cheap Moulin Rouge tickets however due to the initial and ongoing popularirty of Moulin Rouge! The Musical since it opened in London at the Piccadilly Theatre there has been very little in the form of discounted tickets so far for this show. Bargain hunters looking for last minute shows in London should steer clear of weekend performances and consider booking for the traditionally quiet weeks following half term holidays and possibly matinee performances which can keep prices reasonable.
