Moulin rouge in the US

The Moulin Rouge (http://moulinrouge.fr) has officially confirmed their landmark voyage to the United States, as a part of this year's BEST OF FRANCE celebration in Times Square, taking place on September 26, 2015 from 10:00am to 8:00pm and September 27, 2015 from 10:00am-7:00pm. Organized by the New York French Community in partnership with many prominent organizations, this is the third edition of BEST OF FRANCE (http://www.bestoffrance.org/), formerly known as Taste of France. The celebration is expected to have thousands of visitors over the course of the weekend, and attendees will enjoy free entrance to walk the festival grounds and see abridged Moulin Rouge performances and fashion shows.

The French review is bringing "a Taste of Moulin Rouge" to New York City for the first time in 126 years, highlighting all of the glamour and elation that is a part of the French staple's rich history. During their short time in NYC, the Moulin Rouge dancers will be making appearances at New York City's most well-known landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, The Empire State Building and Times Square. Over the years, the Moulin Rouge has become the most famous cabaret in the world, internationally known for its French Cancan, immortalized by Toulouse-Lautrec in 1891 with his first advertising poster, as well as for its sumptuous grand stage shows: elaborate costumes boasting feathers, Swarovski crystals and sequins, fantastical settings, and original music.

"This is a widely anticipated event. The Moulin Rouge will greet the city that never sleeps for the first time in over 100 years," says Moulin Rouge CEO, Jean-Jacques Clerico. "We are absolutely thrilled to participate in BEST OF FRANCE; it is truly an honor to be part of something that encourages such strong global ties and cultural values. What better way to bring our legendary show to a legendary city than with our lavish costumes, majestic dances, and sensational French energy?"
