Making Moulin Rouge!’s Nini: What It Takes for Broadway's Robyn Hurder to Nail Her Stunts and Tricks

In the video above, which was filmed in February and subsequently seven months into the pandemic, 2020 Tony nominee Robyn Hurder discusses the effect of seeing her first Broadway show; her reaction to seeing the original Moulin Rouge! film; the balance between work and motherhood; life with her husband, fellow actor Clyde Alves; the demands of her high-energy Broadway role as ‪@MoulinRougeMusical‬'s Nini; and more.
Playbill presents, exclusively, a five-part documentary series that focuses on the actors who bring The Lady Ms of Moulin Rouge! to vibrant life: Robyn Hurder as Nini, Jacqueline B. Arnold as La Chocolat, Holly James as Arabia, and Jeigh Madjus as Baby Doll. This dynamic quartet sings the iconic “Lady Marmalade” and hold the nightclub, central to the action of the critically acclaimed musical based on the film of the same name, together.
