Absolutely amazing experience. Dinner was good , service was good , timing was just right. Having seen majority of West End shows , Broadway and Las Vegas , this show was up there in the rankings . Would definitely recommend

Do not purchase this dinner/show combo through any other entity (Viator, Trip Advisor, etc.) You are literally paying $100+/ticket more than if you bought direct from Moulin Rouge with zero added value. The tour group did not provide transportation, they ask you to arrive way too early, and just make money by handing you your tickets. We arrived at 625 as directed only to stand outside the Moulin Rouge for about 15 minutes. Then we stood just inside in line for another 10 minutes or so. Finally we went further into the theatre lobby to wait another 10 minutes. DO NOT arrive early unless you want to be seated right next to the stage with a nice side of T&A in your face following your dinner. You are seated at long tables with strangers right on top of you. The Viator dinner we purchased did not include champagne, so basically everyone else in the theatre had champagne corks popping while we drank awful red wine. Good news though, you can purchase champagne for only $90/bottle! The dinner is extremely low quality. The king prawns starter was solid and then it went downhill from there. My little missile-shaped chicken breast was overcooked with zero seasoning. To make matters worse, the lounge singers that “entertained” us during dinner were like caricatures of 1980s wedding singers. I felt like I was watching the non-Patrick Swayze corny variety shows from Dirty Dancing. The whole evening is timed poorly. In addition to the waiting, we were completely done dinner at 8p, a full hour before the show started. So we listened to the lounge lizards crooning while we drained our awful red wine that came with the meal.

The cast of the show was extremely talented. The show itself felt stale and in desperate need of a 21st century update. I read afterwards that the show opened in the late 1990s and hasn’t changed at all, and it absolutely feels that way. I guess all the topless girls were designed to distract from the overall pointlessness of the show. At 90 minutes, it was about 40 minutes too long.

The only part of the show I enjoyed were the intermission acts: the contortionist, balancing act, and two dancers that did impressive gymnastic feats set to a Sam Smith song.

If you insist on attending this show, please arrive as close to the show start time. Buy your ticket direct from Moulin Rouge, sit in the balcony, and have a decent dinner and bottle of wine elsewhere beforehand to save yourself money and the opportunity to enjoy a meal.

I also will never understand how this tour group gets away with buying tickets and basically scalping them so far over what Moulin Rouge charges - it is criminal. The random primal screams from the girls during the final can can number will haunt me to my dying day.

We loved every second of the show. I’m a mom who brought my 12 year old daughter and we had an amazing time, although some of the outfits were a bit mature. She loved the dancing and the handsome men. The food and service were very good.

Oh my! What a show! The dinner was delicious and the champagne was chilled and perfect! This show had everything! Colourful costumes, beautiful dancers, amazing acrobats and great choreography. This show is a must if you go to Paris!

What a show! Absolute must-see experience for anyone visiting Paris. I would highly recommend doing dinner along with the show for the full experience.
