'Moulin Rouge! The Musical' Pop-Up
Come what may at this two-day harbourside hangout, which'll feature a four-metre-high heart-shaped swing set, unlimited free coffees and pinot-fuelled art sessions.
Overview
Until mid-December, truth, beauty, freedom and love are all shining in Sydney, with Moulin Rouge! The Musical treading the boards at the Capitol Theatre. That's not your only way to feel like you've sashayed into Baz Luhrmann's beloved movie, however — especially if you head harbourside across Saturday, October 15–Sunday, October 16.
For two days, and for free, a Moulin Rouge! The Musical pop-up is taking over Circular Quay and turning it into a Paris-style artisan precinct from 11am–5pm daily. Expect splendour and romance aplenty — including a a four-metre-high heart-shaped swing set for you and your special someone to sit on (and take snaps on; that's why you'll have the Sydney Harbour Bridge as a backdrop).
Also on offer: free (and unlimited) made-to-order barista coffees, as well as raspberry and chocolate croissants, all thanks to the pop-up Cafe L'amour (with Brudos Coffee Bike and Creperie Suzette doing the honours).
Or, you can get a ten-minute mini makeover from MAC Cosmetics, complete with mini lipstick giveaways.
And, there'll be free one-hour Pinot and Picasso sessions so you can channel your inner bohemian artist. Yes, you'll be painting a Moulin Rouge! The Musical- and Sydney-inspired artwork — although at the time of writing, that part is all sold out.
