In February, it was announced that the Grammy winner was set to make her Broadway debut in Moulin Rouge! The Musical, where she would play the nightclub impresario Harold Zidler. It was scheduled for an eight-week engagement at the Al Hirshfeld Theatre, beginning on March 24 and ending on May 17.
“Stepping onto the Broadway stage and joining the ‘Moulin Rouge! The Musical’ team is an absolute honor. 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 said at the time in a statement.
