‘Moulin Rouge!’ opens tonight on Broadway: How to get tickets

Tonight is the highly anticipated opening night of “Moulin Rouge! The Musical” on Broadway.

It’s quickly becoming the hottest ticket in town — and tickets are going fast.

“Moulin Rouge! The Musical,” a $28 million production with all kinds of hype, got glowing reviews when it opened in Boston last summer. Though the New York production doesn’t have big names — Aaron Tveit, Karen Olivo and Danny Burstein — as The Post’s theater guru Michael Riedel notes, “after this show opens, [they] could become big stars.” (Watch for The Post’s review, coming tonight.)

This production is expected to capture the magic of Baz Luhrmann’s original 2001 film — but with new pop songs such as Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” and Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies.”

Directed by Alex Timbers and designed by Derek McLane, the show, like the movie, follows a struggling composer in Paris who falls in love with a cabaret performer.

Here’s how to score tickets to “Moulin Rouge! The Musical,” at Broadway’s Al Hirschfeld Theatre. First, fans can shop around for discounts and deals by downloading vendors’ apps on iOS and Android to purchase cheap Broadway tickets: BroadwayBox.com (the cheapest seat available now is $99 in the mezzanine), TodayTix, the Broadway Lottery app and StubHub.

One of the best deals was spotted at NYTix.com in their lottery for $34 tickets with a “Broadway Discount Guide” membership ($4.95 for 30 days).

Tickets for later dates are also available at Ticketmaster.com and in person at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, 302 West 45th Street. Box office hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Broadway.com has select tickets remaining, and also offers group discounts for groups of 12 or more through the group sales box office or by calling 1-800-BROADWAY x2.

The musical offers a $29 (plus $5 service charge) “Lucky Seat” lottery online as well. They also have stage-side seating, officially called “Can Can! Table Seating,” available and located directly in front of the stage. The seats are surrounded by an extended, semicircular runway (where the orchestra pit would usually go).

Sadly, a visit to the Head to an NYC-based TKTS booth won’t do you any good. Tickets, even the high-priced ones, are selling out fast to most performances.
