That’s real hot Zidler s—.
Broadway’s Tony-winning “Moulin Rouge” announced that Megan Thee Stallion will take on the Harold Zidler role from Bob The Drag Queen from March 24 through May 17 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.
Her performance — which is also her Broadway debut — will make history as the “first female-identifying performer to play the role not only in the Broadway production, but in any Moulin Rouge! production worldwide,” according to Playbill.
“Stepping onto the Broadway stage and joining the ‘Moulin Rouge! The Musical’ team is an absolute honor. I’ve always believed in pushing myself creatively and theatre 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,” the 31-year-old rapper shared.
She’ll join castmates Meg Donnelly (Satine), Christian Douglas (Christian), André Ward (Toulouse-Lautrec), David Harris (The Duke of Monroth) and Ricky Rojas (Santiago) in the jukebox musical based on the beloved 2001 Baz Luhrmann film.
If you’d like to see her live on the Great White Way, tickets for all “Moulin Rouge” Megan Thee Stallion shows are available as of today.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats for any one show from March 24 through May 17 was $116 including fees on StubHub (for five different shows listed below).
Other shows have tickets starting anywhere from $131 to $246 including fees.
Opening night prices start at $246 including fees; Megan Thee Stallion’s final performance on May 17 will run you $208 including fees.
Once the “Plan B” hitmaker exits the show, “Moulin Rouge” will run on Broadway for two more months before officially closing up shop on July 26 after a seven-year Midtown run.
As a refresher, the popular production tells the devastating love story between performer Satine and composer Christian at, of course, Paris’ famed Moulin Rouge.
“Director Alex Timbers’ smartest move is not trying to replicate Luhrmann’s quick-cut sense of humor, which would crash and burn onstage,” The Post’s Johnny Oleksinski wrote in a review when the show opened in July 2019. “Instead, he focuses on grandiose emotions, sensuality and the storybook sensation of first love, for which [original Christian, Aaron] Tveit’s puppy-dog innocence is ideal.”
