Producers of Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway have announced new casting from 10 May at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.

Ashley Loren will be Satine, having played over 100 performances in the role as the Satine Alternate since Moulin Rouge! The Musical opened in the Summer of 2019; Derek Klena, most recently nominated for a Tony Award for his performance in Jagged Little Pill, will take on the role of Christian; Declan Bennett, who previously appeared on Broadway in Rent and American Idiot, will play The Duke of Monroth; and original Moulin Rouge! The Musical cast member Caleb Marshall-Villarreal will play Santiago.

Producers Carmen Pavlovic and Bill Damaschke said: “The pandemic has highlighted understudies and alternates as the very backbone of the Broadway community. We are delighted that Ashley Loren and Caleb Marshall-Villarreal, key members of our company since we opened, who have played Satine and Santiago respectively on many occasions, will now assume those leading roles. We're also pleased to welcome Derek Klena and Declan Bennett. These very talented leading men are outstanding additions to our bohemian family."
