It’s a hot girl spring for Megan Thee Stallion.
After all, the “Sweetest Pie” rapper is making her Broadway debut in Moulin Rouge! The Musical for an eight-week run from March 24 to May 17, she announced Feb. 26.
Alongside a clip of the iconic glowing red heart from the Moulin Rouge cabaret on Instagram, Megan (real name Megan Pete) wrote, “Thee hottest news on Broadway.”
The Grammy winner is taking over the role of Moulin Rouge club owner Zidler after Bob the Drag Queen (real name Christopher Delmar Caldwell) finishes his run on March 22. She’s also making history as the first female-identifying performer to play the character in any production ever, a Feb. 26 press release revealed.
“Stepping onto the Broadway stage and joining the Moulin Rouge! The Musical team is an absolute honor,” she said in the release. “I’ve always believed in pushing myself creatively and theater is definitely a new opportunity that I’m excited to embrace.”
