Behind the Ferocious Choreography of Moulin Rouge! The Musical’s ‘El Tango de Roxanne’

With Sonya Tayeh and Robyn Hurder

[@lonellfletcher]

Moulin Rouge is such a robust production. Everything is full on. Nothing is held back. My kind of musical.

[@sailontimetoshine505]

Perfect way to describe it- Nothing is held back- so true!! I just saw it twice last week and holy Toledo was I blown away!

[@cyncyNAYA]

Robyn Hurder is a BEAST. Watching this number is a highlight of the show for me every time. Sonya's choreography is straight fire.

[@jenniferanderson9695]

El Tango de Roxanne has always been my favorite song and when I finally saw the show 2 days ago in New York, that scene was the highlight of the show for me. It completely blew my face off! Sonya, you are a genius!

[@iamisaid2295]

my fave song from the movie & soundtrack. and almost years later it's still in my top 10 all time fave songs.

[@gregstorkwilson2745]

Get some to look at you the way Sonya looks at Robyn. Two pros at the top of their game showing mad respect and admiration for the craft. So refreshing to see!

[@shannon4386]

Robyn was one of my teachers many moons ago when she was still dancing with MSB. I remember her being the nicest person ever, and I'm so excited she's had so much success.

[@maddiephillips1845]

robyn hurder is the QUEEN of this show. absolutely fierce in every single way. and thank you sonya tayeh for blessing us with this number 😩

[@Everettalla]

The line “RRRROOOOXXANE” just keeps replaying in my head and I don’t know why

[@juliatejeda1399]

[@terrylewis_]

This is one of my favorite songs from Moulin Rogue, I have always loved it. But I especially love Robyn, I found her early on in the pandemic via instagram and she's just an absolute joy to follow! Plus, her son is so stinking adorable.

[@helenhenson907]

I feel inside like I have been elevated to another lever. Thank you Sonya Tayeh for uplifting me

[@dew348]

[@miyane3639]

Roxanne literally activates my tics so hard like the excitement that it causes makes me tic SO BADLY I CAN NEVER LISTEN TO IT IN PUBLIC

[@naomilichtner6637]

[@taylorfiller4706]

[@kyliechan17]

[@camara1194]

SONYA

[@ronhoek69]

The original music would be sooo much better! But tthe dancing is top notch!

[@annaluciaherrera5562]

Robyn Hurder is daddy...

[@elizabethfalgout]

That one guys muscles though 🤭

[@AndrewMacLaine]

I'm surprised (and maybe a bit disappointed?) that the character is being referred to as "Nini" and not "Nini Legs In The Air", which I think is such an amazing name. Was it changed for the stage production?

[@colinthemarines3567]

I have heard various people involved with the stage production call her Nini Legs In The Air as well as just Nini. It seems like they simply use Nini for short because the full name isn’t really convenient to repeat over and over when you need to reference the character a lot in conversation.

[@roxannejoganik3466]
