Welcome to the Moulin Rouge, where there are so many songs that we couldn't fit them into one episode. We're not sure the starving artists of the Bohemian Revolution would approve of this display of extravagance, but then again, maybe Broadway can keep alive what they couldn't. So "Shut Up and Raise Your Glass" as you listen to us break down the Bohemian values currently on display at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.
