First Look! See Megan Thee Stallion in Broadway's 'Moulin Rouge!'

Megan Thee Stallion makes a historic gender-swapped Broadway debut in Moulin Rouge! for an eight-week run, succeeding Bob the Drag Queen in the role of Zidler.

  • On Tuesday, March 24, three-time Grammy winner Megan Thee Stallion begins an eight-week engagement as Zidler at the Al Hirshfeld Theatre, running through Sunday, May 17.
  • Producer Carmen Pavlovic said the casting is part of closing-season promotions and a farewell gift, with the show's 2021 reopening and July 26 announced as the closing date.
  • Departing from tradition, the role was originally Harold Zidler, created by Tony-winner Danny Burstein, but the production now presents Zidler as female rather than male drag.
  • The production will feature a hint of her own music, and Megan says she is embracing theater's discipline, excited for her Hotties to see a new side of her.
  • A first-look image shows Megan Thee Stallion in full Moulin regalia ahead of her debut, while Bob the Drag Queen finishes his limited engagement this Sunday, March 22.
