In anticipation of Moulin Rouge! the Musical making its pre-Broadway premiere in Boston, a video of leading man Aaron Tveit singing the amorous ode "Come What May" was released to whet our appetite.
Tveit, who captured hearts in Grease Live! and Catch Me If You Can on Broadway, will be playing the role of Christian originated by Ewan McGregor in the 2001 film.

The teaser clip was directed by Ezra Hurwitz and features a lovesick Tveit wandering the elaborate corridors of an empty theater as he pours his heart into the original song from the movie. His exquisite voice fills the spaces of the theater as rose petals and powdered snow flakes float down from the rafters.

For even more dramatic effect, a fog rolls across the back of the empty mezzanine section as he sings "But I love you. Until the end of time." Nothing could be sweeter.
