Megan Thee Stallion To Star In Moulin Rouge!
She’s a savage!
The rapper, songwriter, and actor will make her Broadway debut this spring at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, taking over from Bob the Drag Queen, who wraps up his limited run March 22 - and there may even be a hint of her own catalogue woven into the show!
Megan will become the first female-identifying performer to play the role of Harold Zidler in any production of Moulin Rouge!

About Moulin Rouge!
Directed by Alex Timbers, with a book by John Logan (based on the film directed by Baz Luhrmann), Moulin Rouge! The Musical has been a glittering mainstay since opening in 2019. Its pop-fuelled score mashes up songs by artists like Katy Perry, Elton John, and Sia, set against the sweeping Parisian love story of Satine and Christian.
The production has won 10 Tony Awards, including Best Musical and acting wins for Aaron Tveit and Burstein, and has played to more than 12 million people across 15 global productions. It's currently running on tour across North America and internationally, including London's West End.
