Producers Carmen Pavlovic and Bill Damaschke are pleased to announce Chloe Beck has joined the Moulin Rouge! The Musical company as Director of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion. She officially began in the newly created role on July 12th following ten years in higher education, most recently at New York University. Her work will focus on the Broadway production, the forthcoming US National Tour and the show’s productions opening internationally.
Chloe Beck said, “After living through the pandemic and noting the effects of Covid-19 and police brutality on BIPOC, queer, trans and non-binary bodies, I knew that I could not stop fighting for equity and inclusion after protests slowed down. It’s time for me to bring my love of the arts, fresh perspectives and passion for cultivating belonging into the EDI space. It’s time to not only wish for “truth, beauty, freedom and love” in this world, but time to work towards it. Moulin Rouge! The Musical is a place where everyone is welcome and it’s a privilege to work alongside so many passionate people striving to prove just that. The time for systematic change on Broadway is now and I’m ecstatic to be one of the leaders of that change.”
Carmen Pavlovic and Bill Damaschke said, “We are thrilled to have found an ideal leader in Chloe Beck in the role of Director of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at Moulin Rouge! The Musical. Recognizing the need for long overdue and necessary change in our industry we strongly believe Chloe will be a key partner in driving strategies, programs and initiatives to give our company the tools required to embed Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in our culture and day to day operations. Moulin Rouge! The Musical is based on a world in which all are welcome. Working with Chloe, we are committed to making this a reality in every aspect of the production.”
