Megan Thee Stallion to Debut in Moulin Rouge! on Broadway

Megan Thee Stallion, the Grammy-winning rapper known for hits like "Savage" and "WAP," will make her Broadway debut next year, taking on the role of nightclub impresario Harold Zidler in "Moulin Rouge! The Musical" at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in New York.

The performer, whose real name is Megan Pete, will appear from March 24 through May 17, 2026, succeeding Bob the Drag Queen in the part. Her casting marks a milestone, as she becomes the first female-identifying actor to portray Zidler not only in the Broadway production but in any staging of the show worldwide. Tickets for her limited run went on sale recently, with prices starting as low as $69 on select platforms, though costs vary by date and seating, often reaching into the hundreds.

"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."
