The record-breaking production made the Houston Hottie’s recruitment official on Thursday (Feb. 26), with Megan slated to play the role of Zidler, who serves as what the press release described as the “impresario of the titular nightclub.”
The Grammy-winning rapper’s eight-week run on stage will take place from March 24 to May 17 at the famed Al Hirschfeld Theatre in NYC.
“Stepping onto the Broadway stage and joining the Moulin Rouge! The Musical team is an absolute honor,” Megan said in a statement. “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.”
Megan Thee Stallion will be making history when she debuts as the first female-identifying star to play Zidler in the global performance history of Moulin Rouge! The Musical.
“Welcoming Megan Thee Stallion into the Moulin Rouge! The Musical community is a thrilling moment for us,” producer Carmen Pavlovic added in a statement. “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.”
She continued: “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.”
