Prior to his Broadway debut, Cott spoke withEntertainment Weeklyabout playing the part of Christian in the musical. “The first time I sawMoulin Rougethe film was many, many years ago and I just remember thinking it was so magical. I’ve always been a massive Baz Luhrmann fan and there’s no surprise Moulin Rouge translates to Broadway so seamlessly.”
He added: “When I heard I had gotten the role, I went back and watched the film again. I was just as enthralled as the first time. It’s such a timeless classic and so fun to see how each member of the film’s cast have these incredible careers now. I’m just such a fan of all of it!”
