Producers of the Tony Award®-winning, record-breaking Broadway hit Moulin Rouge! The Musical have announced that three-time Grammy Award-winning superstar and actress Megan Thee Stallion will make her Broadway debut in the production as Zidler at the Al Hirshfeld Theatre from 24 March-17 May, promising an unmissable, moment in the show’s legendary run.
Megan Thee Stallion makes history becoming the first female-identifying performer to play the role of Zidler, not only in the Broadway production, but in any Moulin Rouge! The Musical production worldwide.
Megan said: “Stepping onto the Broadway stage and joining the Moulin Rouge! The Musical team is an absolute honour. I’ve always believed in pushing myself creatively and theater is definitely a new opportunity that I’m excited to embrace. Broadway demands a different level of discipline, preparation and storytelling, but I’m up for the challenge and can’t wait for the Hotties to see a new side of me.”
Producer Carmen Pavlovic said: “Welcoming Megan Thee Stallion into the Moulin Rouge! The Musical community is a thrilling moment for us. Megan is a true global superstar. She is one of the most influential artists of her generation and her impact on music and culture is undeniable. This historic casting is a major part of our closing celebrations: our farewell gift to Broadway audiences and one of our biggest announcements in the history of Moulin Rouge! The Musical. We want our show to go out with a spectacular bang, and Megan is the force of nature to lead us there. And yes, there will be a hint of music from her own iconic catalogue. It’s an unmissable moment for both Megan’s fans and ours.”
Bob the Drag Queen will end his limited run in the role of Harold Zidler on 22 March.
As recently announced, the Broadway production of Moulin Rouge! The Musical will end its celebrated run on 26 July.
