Truth. Beauty. Freedom. Love.🌹

After seven years and over 2,000 performances, Moulin Rouge! The Musical will close on Broadway on August 30. In its final week, Aaron Tveit—who originated the lead role of Christian—is reprising his Tony-winning role.

To celebrate this iconic musical, movie, and music, I wanted to share some of the memorable Moulin Rouge programs in figure skating. Which is your favorite?

“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.”
