Booking extended: Secret Cinema presents Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge

Breaking news: new tickets for an extended run of Secret Cinema's hugely popular Moulin Rouge! experience are being released this week. The experience has been dubbed Secret Cinema's most spectacular yet, and the creator of the 2001 hit movie, Baz Luhrmann, himself has visited the production.

Cinema lovers are invited to immerse themselves in the world of producer Luhrmann's at time surreal, jokey Moulin, and fall head-over-heels in love with Paris, Nicole Kidman and the other can-can dancers of the Belle Époque.

Those not initiated with Secret Cinema need to know: this is a clandestine film screening that transports its attendees to the world of the film they've booked to see. Ticket holders dress to impress, arrive at a secret location somewhere in the capital, and literally explore the world of the film complete with props, actors and surprises. Think of it as a kind of glamorous Comic Con for cinema lovers.



Tickets allow you to choose between becoming a Creature of the Underworld (with limited seating), a Child of the Revolution (offering standard seating) or an Aristocrat (a VIP ticket) which, event organisers say, 'is for the fame seekers, the opulent and the rich. Be prepared to dance, to be pampered, to dare, to love!' That sounds like the ticket for us.

By the end of the current run more than 50,000 participants will have been transported back to Paris 1899, into a hyper-real world of Luhrmann’s Moulin. It has been described as Secret Cinema’s most spectacular world yet.
