Megan Thee Stallion Forced To Exit Moulin Rouge! Mid-Show, Taken To Hospital

Just one week into her history-making Broadway run, Megan Thee Stallion was rushed to a New York hospital after suddenly becoming “very ill” during Tuesday night’s performance of Moulin Rouge! The Musical. A spokesperson for the production confirmed the frightening incident, saying the Grammy winner’s symptoms are currently being evaluated.

The unexpected medical scare unfolded during Megan’s limited engagement as Zidler at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, where she made her Broadway debut on March 24. Her casting has already made headlines, as she became the first female-identifying performer to take on the role in the production’s history. The show reportedly paused after Megan exited, with an understudy stepping in so the performance could continue.

Concern spread quickly across social media as audience members began posting that the show had abruptly stopped mid-performance. The anxiety only grew after Megan’s hairstylist, Kellon Deryck, shared from the hospital, asking fans to keep her in their prayers as she underwent evaluation.

The incident comes during what has been a major creative milestone for the Houston superstar, who recently opened up about wanting to push herself in new ways through theater. Megan is currently scheduled to remain in the production through May 17, though it remains unclear whether the sudden health scare will affect any upcoming performances.

For now, fans are waiting for more answers as the entertainment world watches to see when Megan will be well enough to return to the Broadway stage.

No further details about what caused her to become ill have been publicly released.
