"Getting Ready" With Moulin Rouge's Ashley Loren

“Taylor [Swift] is giving Satine,” Ashley Loren says with authority. It’s true that showgirls are shimmering in the spotlight, having a bit of a moment now that Swift’s album The Life of the Showgirl has sashayed to top of the charts. But no one knows a showgirl’s life better than Loren, who holds the distinction of being the longest-running Satine in Broadway’s Moulin Rouge! The Musical at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. To learn which product keeps Loren’s red lip budge-proof and smudge-free for a two-show day (and how her cat, Mozart, helps her prepare to perform), tune into Getting Ready above.
