Walk on the stage purse first - Bob The Drag Queen set to join Moulin Rouge!
Because he can can can!
Drag Queen, Actor, Comedian, Podcaster, and now Broadway star, Bob The Drag Queen will make his main stem debut in January 2026, stepping into the role of extravagant club owner Harold Zidler in Moulin Rouge!.
The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 8 and New York Times Bestseller follows in the footsteps of fellow Drag Race alumna Jinkx Monsoon as he makes his debut on the Great White Way in 2026 in the spectacular spectacular that is Moulin Rouge! at the Al Hirschfield Theatre. Speaking on the news, the star deadpanned in a statement: "Being on Broadway has always been a dream of mine...I moved to NYC almost 17 years ago to pursue it. Some roads take a while." We know it will be worth it, Bob!
Currently starring Wayne Brady as Zidler with Taye Diggs as the Duke, Ashley Loren as Satine, and Christian Douglas as Christian, the ten-time Tony winner has been running on Broadway since 2019. An adaptation of Baz Lurhman's 2001 film of the same name, the musical is beloved by many for its flamboyant style, exhilarating soundtrack, and breathtaking sets, making for one unforgettable night out.
You can catch Bob on stage in Moulin Rouge! From January 27, 2026, where he'll be playing the role for a limited run of 8 weeks.
