Overview
- Megan Thee Stallion became very ill during Tuesday’s performance of Moulin Rouge! The Musical in New York, prompting a pause as staff asked the audience to remain seated and an alternate finished the show.
- She was transported to a nearby hospital for evaluation, which her representative confirmed, as her hairstylist asked fans for prayers in a post on X.
- By Wednesday, her spokesperson said she was discharged after treatment for extreme exhaustion, dehydration, vasoconstriction and low metabolic levels, with plans to resume performances soon.
- The production announced she would not appear in the next scheduled matinee or evening shows, with casting adjusted to keep the run on track.
- Her eight-week engagement as Zidler at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre marks her Broadway debut and the first time a woman has played the role, a high-profile stint that underscores why Broadway keeps trained understudies ready for medical emergencies.
