Moulin Rouge: Yes We Can-Can!
DSP for BBC Two
For more than 130 years, France’s legendary Moulin Rouge cabaret club has been dazzling audiences with its own unique brand of Parisian ooh la la. But behind the red curtain you’re more likely to bump into someone from Middlesbrough than Marseilles. The Artistic Director is Janet, an ex-dancer from Yorkshire, and a third of her troupe are British too.
With an access-all-areas pass to the inner workings of the Moulin Rouge, this colourful six-part series follows Janet as she heads back to Britain to recruit a new line-up of British dancers to join the Moulin’s high-kicking ensemble.
