Megan Thee Stallion To Leave Moulin Rouge! Early

Kevin, April 28th, 2026

Broadway loses a hottie

In a turn of savage events, three-time Grammy winner Megan Thee Stallion has announced she will take her final bow in Moulin Rouge! The Musical as Zidler earlier than expected, exiting the show on May 1 instead of May 17. 

Megan became the first woman ever to play Zidler in any production worldwide, redefining a role created by Tony winner Danny Burstein.

She shared the news shortly after reports confirmed her split from NBA player Klay Thompson.

Understudy Patrick Clanton will cover the role of Zidler through May 17, before Eric Anderson, a familiar face who previously played the role, steps back into the spotlight on May 19.
