The “Mamushi” rapper will play Zidler (usually known as Harold Zidler), the Moulin Rouge club owner who doubles as the show’s host and M.C. She will be taking over the role from drag performer and reality TV star Bob the Drag Queen, whose run ends on Marc 22. Megan Thee Stallion will reportedly be the first female-identifying performer to take on the role.
“Stepping onto the Broadway stage and joining the Moulin Rouge! The Musical team is an absolute honor,” she said in a press release. “I’ve always believed in pushing myself creatively and theater is definitely a new opportunity that I’m excited to embrace.”
