Megan Thee Stallion’s Zidler in Broadway’s Moulin Rouge Debuts in New Photos

The booking headlines the musical’s extended farewell run.

Overview

  • Playbill released a new photo set showcasing Megan Thee Stallion onstage as Zidler in Moulin Rouge! The Musical.
  • Her limited engagement runs through May 17 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, marking the first time a female-identifying performer has played Zidler in any production worldwide.
  • The production listed scheduled absences for the artist on April 26, May 2, and May 10 to help ticket buyers plan visits.
  • Eric Anderson, who originated the role in workshops and later on Broadway, returns to the part on May 19 as the show moves toward its final weeks.
  • Producers framed the casting as a centerpiece of the farewell season with a brief nod to her own songs, as the Tony-winning hit now sets its Broadway closing for August 30 after a global run seen by more than 12 million people.
