Various entertaining short stage shows including scenes
from such greats as Rocky Horror Halloween play live at the Moulin Rouge.
In October 2013 I spoke with Manager Xanthia Martian -
for insight in to behind the scenes operation and what makes the Moulin Rouge a
location worth visiting, details follow...
The Moulin Rouge stage shows have various sets with live
dancers performing shows based on such classics as Rocky Horror / Chicago /
Harem of the Nile / Midsummer Nights:
Myths, Fantasies & Fairytales / Gangsters & Molls / Top Secret (Spy
Show) / Jungle Fever/ Prehistoric Show / Old West Can Can - Saloon Show /
Pirates! and many more live on stage.
For over 6.5 years Xanthia Martian has been managing the
Moulin Rouge in SL since August 2007, the original manager and owner Kris
Harmison opened the Moulin Rouge 9 years ago, with the last 7 years on the same
sim / location and sadly passed away on 16th September 2013. Kris Harmison’s husband along with the help
of Xanthia Martian will continue to operate the Mouling Rouge.
Xanthia:I was teaching at a university and they offered a
class for professors on second life and building
Shaneos: How many actors
are involved in Moulin Rouge performances?
Xanthia: Last show – 9, anywhere from 5-14 performers
depending on the show
Shaneos: You are just wrapping up the Rocky Horror
Halloween Play. What type of shows can readership expect in the coming months?
Xanthia: This week 11/2 we have a Variety Show, 11/9 -
Broadway Favorites, 11/16 Noon - Burlesque Francais, 7pm - The Daily Grind
Show, 11/23 - Burlesque Francaise again (these are in conjunction with the
French Kiss Hunt, we are opening their event on 11/16 and closing 11/23. The following weekend we are off for the
Thanksgiving Holiday - in December: 12/7
- Back to Nature, 12/14 - Rat Pack and Jazz Favorites, 12/21 - Santa Baby,
12/22 - we are doing a Santa Baby again on another sim... the following week we
may or may not be off for the holiday.
Shaneos: Are you
currently hiring? If so, what are the requirements needed to be part of the MR
team?
Xanthia: We are hiring for Candy Girls and for
Dancers. For both, you are required to
know the basics of emoting and roleplay, have a willingness to learn and bring
no drama. For both we like to have an
interview prepared. For dancers, we
audition... they must know how to choreograph or be willing to learn. Building sets is a plus
Shaneos: What group can
our readers join to stay in the know about shows?
Xanthia: VIPs of the Moulin Rouge or we have a Hippo slot
free group
Shaneos: Anything else
you would like to share with our readers?
Xanthia: The best way to find out what we do is to come
experience a show for themselves, we also have some acts recorded on youtube.

The Moulin Rouge relies heavily on donations from patrons
to help keep the sim & Moulin Rouge going. Do not miss out - this is one
venue location I highly recommend to visit for a good old
fashioned family rated entertainment.
