Megan Thee Stallion is taking her final bow on Broadway earlier than expected.
The three-time Grammy Award-winning rapper and actress will play her last performance as Harold Zidler in Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Friday, May 1, at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.
Originally scheduled for an eight-week limited engagement through May 17, Megan’s run will now conclude just weeks ahead of its planned end date.
Her casting marked a historic moment for the production, as she became the first woman to take on the role of Zidler — the charismatic and commanding master of ceremonies at the center of the Parisian cabaret — in any Moulin Rouge!production worldwide.
Megan made her Broadway debut earlier this year, bringing a wave of new audiences to the theater, with her devoted fanbase — known as the “Hotties” — showing up in full force to support her run.
In a statement, she reflected on the experience, sharing her appreciation for the cast and crew:
“Unfortunately, my last performance on Moulin Rouge! The Musical will be May 1. It’s been such an honor to be part of Moulin Rouge and I’ve met so many amazing people in this theater… Every single person at the Moulin Rouge has inspired me to go harder as an entertainer.”
She continued by thanking the team for their dedication and the fans who supported her Broadway journey, calling the experience “incredibly meaningful.”
The production has not yet announced who will take over the role of Zidler from May 2 through May 17.
The casting shift comes as Moulin Rouge! The Musical continues its successful Broadway run. The Tony Award-winning production — directed by Alex Timbers and based on Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 film — recently extended its engagement, with performances now set to run through August 30, 2026.
Since opening in 2019, the show has remained a box office powerhouse, winning 10 Tony Awards including Best Musical and setting records at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.
While Megan’s Broadway chapter is brief, it’s undeniably impactful — a history-making run that brought new energy, new audiences, and a fresh take to one of Broadway’s biggest spectacles.
