Megan Thee Stallion will make her Broadway debut in the musical Moulin Rouge! This spring.
The three-time Grammy Award-winning artist and actress will take over the role of nightclub impresario Zeidler, formerly referred to as Harold Zeidler, for eight weeks beginning March 24, 2026, through May 17. The score, made up of recent pop hits, will also include a “glimpse of music” from Megan Thee Stallion’s catalog, which includes songs like “Savage” and “HISS.”
She takes over the role of Zidler from Bob the Drag Queen. While this is her Broadway debut, she has previously starred as Megan Thee Stallion in the film A24 Deeks: The musical She appeared on Starz F Valley And Disney She-Hulk: Lawyer.
“Get into the Broadway theater and join Moulin Rouge! Musical “Teaming is an absolute honor,” said Megan Thee Stallion. “I’ve always believed in pushing myself creatively and theater is definitely a new opportunity I’m excited to embrace. Broadway requires 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.”
Her casting comes as Moulin Rouge! It is nearing the end of its Broadway run, and the production is scheduled to play its final run on July 26. She is the first female-identifying actress to take on the role of Zidler, created by Danny Burstyn, who won a Tony Award for his portrayal.
“Welcome Megan Thee Stallion to Moulin Rouge! Musical Producer Carmen Pavlovich said: “Community is an exciting moment for us. Meghan is a true global star. She is one of the most influential artists of her generation and her influence on music and culture is undeniable. This historic selection is a key part of our closing celebrations: a farewell gift to Broadway audiences and one of our biggest announcements in the history of Moulin Rouge! Musical. We want our show to end with a bang, and Megan is the force of nature that leads us there. And yes, there will be a hint of music from her famous catalogue. “This is an unmissable moment for both Meghan’s fans and ours.”
