From start to finish what an experience the Moulin Rouge was! When we arrived we were warmly greeted, our coats were taken and we were accompanied to our table and my chair pulled out for me. The service we were provided with by our waiter was second to none. He was very attentive without intruding on our evening, I just wish I had asked for his name so he could get the recognition he deserves for the service he provided us with. The food was delicious, every course was clearly crafted with care and attention to detail, each packed with flavour upon flavour. Mine and my partner's glasses never ran dry of champagne and the wine we had was rather nice too. Then came the show... well... Nothing prepares you for it! It's a feast for the eyes to say the least. The costumes, the feathers, the rhinestones, the comedy, the talent of the acrobatic acts and much much more. Seeing is believing with the show and I'd highly recommend it to anyone. Also with the package we had, there were lots of delicious surprises as well as gift bag to take home with us. Well worth the money spent for the dinner and show package.

Our evening at the Moulin Rouge was captivating. The show is exquisite, featuring stunning costumes, music, and exceptional performers, reflecting its legendary status. The atmosphere blends elegance with excitement. From the moment we arrived at the iconic red windmill, it was an unforgettable experience. The Moulin Rouge offers more than just a show; it's an immersive experience promising unforgettable memories in a timeless setting. A must-see in Paris, it captures the essence of cabaret entertainment.

The show was really nice, the costumes were extremely beautiful. The atmosphere was good. We were very lucky that they gave us a table for two and the view was great. The waiting line was not the best because somehow people that came after us got inside quicker due to a second line that kind of blend in into the first one. Overall it was a good experience

TLDR: Show was amazing, dinner not worth the cost. We celebrated my birthday here on a Monday night. We did the dinner and show. ($250/pp). It was cold and rainy outside. I dressed up per the dress code (although many people arrived in jeans, sneakers, mountain boots, etc.) We waited about 2-3 minutes outside before being let in. Once inside, we had to wait another 10 minutes or so. Not horrible but I had on unforgiving high heels. You don’t get a seat until you are inside about to walk into the theater. The seats are very tight. We were sat at a 6 top. We were the only 2 for dinner but 4 more people joined us for the show. Dinner: I had scallops and potatoes. An egg for appetizer. A creamy dessert. My husband had beef cheeks and polenta. All of the dishes were good but the portion size and taste did not justify the extra $100/pp you pay for the privilege to eat there. Service was also super slow but the servers were really nice. Show: The show was amazing. It lasted about 90 minutes. You aren’t allowed to take any photos. I was thoroughly entertained fit the entire show. Lots of music, dancing and bright lights. I would have lived to have seen more diversity in the dancers. The acrobats were very talented. Taxis when you leave were charging twice as much as the price to go there. We went and got a drink at O’Sullivan’s and by the time we were done, the rates were back down. I would 100% go back but I would skip the dinner and just do the show.

Really lovely staff from the security and ticket office to the servers and theatre staff. I had read a few reviews that made me regret buying a ticket. But I was pleasantly surprised. A few of the main acts were a bit dated. The opening was a lot of bad timing and bad silver costumes. But after that the main numbers were a riot of colour and sparkling crystals. There were a few bad wigs. I didn’t think the majority of the male dancers were very good at dancing or timing. I’m an ex dancer so could see this. There was a dance where the girls kept singing “new generation” that was quite dated although the costumes were beautiful. The movement of the stage was amazing and I wasn’t expecting a swimming pool. The other costumes were beautiful as were the sets. The can can was fantastic. The acting of the dancers was good. The acts that came on during set changes were very talented but the costumes could be made a bit more glam. They say on the website that men should wear a tie and shirt. My partner wore a suit and I got dressed up. When we got there we were sharing a table with a guy in a cardigan over a woolly jumper. And a guy in a t shirt. They should try and keep their standards high and insist on a tie as it’s not fair I. Those who make an effort. I was pleasantly surprised and would go again.

I decided to go with the dinner & and show to get the full experience. I was seated at a table with 5 other strangers. Luckily, everyone was nice and spoke English. Im not sure if I would have enjoyed myself if I was stuck with 5 strangers who didn't speak English. Im assuming it's random seating? The table seating was a bit snug. Service decent, I had to ask for water like 4x. The meal was good, no complaints really, but it wasn't mind blowing memorable either. There's about an hour between dinner & show while you wait for just show patrons to show up. There's a band that plays during the hour. Show starts at 9pm. Im not sure what I was expecting for the show, more burlesque, sexy, can-can dancers, but I felt that the show was a bit childishly tacky. Like a topless Disney musical. There were alot of clown scenes (not sexy at all), there was a roller skating duo, another metal ring duo, then there were some 80s Jane Fonda scenes. There was a big can-can dancing set in the middle, then the rest was just alright. Costumes great, dancers are beautiful but all the same looking. I don't know.... It was not what I was expecting for the Moulin Rouge. I probably should have known better when there were children tickets available & children in the theater. The girl across from me left in the middle of the show. She must have been as disappointed as me. I had higher expectations for what i paid.

I had an incredible time! The show was an extraordinary display of talent and skill! The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was amazing and the service team was on top of everything! The only issue I had was, with mobility disabilities, I was given a seat in the lobby while we waited for the doors to open, but once they began seating people, I was forgotten about and left behind. It took 4 attwmpts to get someone to address my concern before someone finally admitted that I should have already been seated. Once that was delt with though, everything was perfect! Higly recommend the show, and the dinner, just make sure you stay aware once the doors open!
