Moulin Rouge returns to host auditions

The Moulin Rouge has announced that it is returning to Australia again to audition for tall, confident and well-trained dancers. Casting directors will fly in straight from Paris and will seek performers for the most famous cabaret in the world, which has been presenting dancing shows for more than 126 years.

The Moulin Rouge will kick off its 2018 Australian Audition Tour in Perth. Then it will visit Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne before heading to Wellington, New Zealand. (At this time, there is no mention of auditions coming to Adelaide or Cairns, as in previous years.) See all the dates and locations below. Pre-register for any of these auditions online at www.moulinrouge.fr.

The casting criteria for the Moulin Rouge requires performers have serious dance training with a good classical base and an advanced modern and jazz background. Female dancers must be at least 175cm, or 5’9. The minimum height for male dancers is 185cm, or 6’1. Women should have a slim, graceful figure while men have a well-proportioned muscular body. Performers must have a great stage presence and bright personality.

In its iconic Paris theatre, the Moulin Rouge presents multiple high-energy shows every single day of the year, including Christmas and New Year’s! It’s magical spectacular is full of feathers, sequins and surprises – entertaining from beginning to end.
