The hit show is based on the much-loved turn-of-the-century film about a Parisian courtesan who falls in love with a writer. It starred Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman. At the 74th Academy Awards, it was nominated for eight Oscars, winning two.

The West End staging will simultaneously continue its run at the Piccadilly Theatre.
Set to appear will be Verity Thompson as Satine, with Nate Landskroner as Christian, and Cameron Blakely as Harold Zidler. Joining them are Kurt Kansley as Toulouse-Lautrec, German Santiago as Santiago, James Bryers as the Duke, Kahlia Davis as Nini, Summer Priest as Arabia, Scott Sutcliffe as Baby Doll, Ellie Jane Grant as La Chocolat and Patrice Tipoki as alternate Satine.
