Megan Thee Stallion was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday, March 31, amid her Moulin Rouge! The Musical performance.
“During Tuesday night’s production, Megan started feeling very ill and was promptly transported to a local hospital, where her symptoms are currently being evaluated,” a spokesperson for the Broadway show said in a statement. “We will share additional updates as more information becomes available.”
In addition to the show’s statement, the rapper’s hairstylist also took to social media to ask for prayers.
“Everyone say a prayer for Megan, we are all at the hospital,” Kellon Deryck shared on X, the microblogging platform formerly known as Twitter.
The “Savage” rapper made her Broadway debut as Zidler in Moulin Rogue! The Musical. She was announced to play the role for a strictly limited eight-week engagement at the Al Hirshfeld Theatre beginning on Tuesday, March 24 and finishing up on Sunday, May 17.
When Megan Thee Stallion was announced in February to take on the role, she said, “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.”
Producer Carmen Pavlovic said, “This historic casting is a major part of our closing celebrations: our farewell gift to Broadway audiences and one of our biggest announcements in the history of Moulin Rouge! The Musical. We want our show to go out with a spectacular bang, and Megan is the force of nature to lead us there. And yes, there will be a hint of music from her own iconic catalogue. It’s an unmissable moment for both Megan’s fans and ours.”
