Megan Thee Stallion Back on ‘Moulin Rouge!’ Stage After Hospitalization

Doctors cited exhaustion-related causes for her brief pause in the role.

Overview

  • Megan Thee Stallion returned to perform on Thursday night, two days after leaving Tuesday’s show mid-performance and going to a New York hospital.
  • Her representative said Wednesday that doctors identified extreme exhaustion, dehydration, vasoconstriction and low metabolic levels, and she was treated and discharged.
  • The Tuesday performance paused as staff asked the audience to remain seated, and an understudy finished the show in a standard Broadway handoff.
  • The production’s website listed her out for Wednesday’s matinee and evening performances, and she missed only that day before resuming.
  • Her limited eight-week engagement at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre runs through May 17, where she is the first woman to play club owner Zidler in the musical.
