Pop the champagne! The "hot girl coach" is taking on Broadway with a limited engagement in Moulin Rouge! The Musical.
Megan Thee Stallion

The "Lover Girl" rapper is trading stadiums for the famed Al Hirschfeld Theatre in New York, making her Broadway debut as Zidler, the owner of the Moulin Rouge nightclub. The musician’s stint will run for eight weeks, from March 24 to May 17. This “stunt” casting has proven incredibly popular with fans and Broadway enthusiasts.

According to a report from StubHub, as reported by TicketNews, there has been a dramatic surge in ticket demand for Megan's stint in the show, bringing a wave of first-time theatergoers. The rapper’s casting drove more ticket sales for Moulin Rouge! The Musical in just 27 days than the production recorded during the same period last year.

Upon the casting announcement in February, ticket sales increased by 3.4x overnight, a striking spike. When opening night arrived, ticket sales increased once more, leading to the highest-selling non-holiday sales day ever for Moulin Rouge! The Musical on the ticketing platform.

The casting choice is interesting, given that the character Zidler is often played by a male or male-presenting person. Megan marks the first female-presenting person to play the role in the show’s history. Prior to Megan, the role was performed by RuPaul’s Drag Race alum and winner Bob The Drag Queen.

If you’re looking to see Megan on the Broadway stage, here's how to snag tickets.

More On Moulin Rouge! The Musical

An even more impressive statistic came from the demographic of ticket buyers who flocked in large numbers to see Megan’s performance. According to StubHub, 79% of ticket buyers for Megan’s show had never purchased a Broadway ticket on StubHub. For existing users, 75% were concertgoers and 50% were sports fans, a fascinating split. This data is a powerful reminder of Megan’s reach and speaks to the success of “stunt” casting when done correctly.

The goal is to introduce new demographics to the world of theater, reaching those who have likely never even seen a Broadway musical, let alone connected with the music. Similar casting choices have been made in the past, with directors tapping big names to play roles. Famous “stunt” casting choices have included the likes of Daniel Radcliffe, model Ashley Graham, Bob the Drag Queen, Wayne Brady, Jinkx Monsoon and Lea Michele, among others.

The Broadway production is directed by Tony Award winner Alex Timbers and features music supervision, orchestrations, and arrangements by Tony Award winner Justin Levine. Levine was nominated for a Grammy as a co-producer of the show’s cast album. The album debuted at #1 on Billboard‘s Cast Albums chart in Sept. 2019. The Broadway production is based on a 2001 film of the same name by American film director Baz Luhrmann.

“Stepping onto the Broadway stage and joining the Moulin Rouge! The Musical team is an absolute honor,” Megan said in a statement. “I’ve always believed in pushing myself creatively and theater 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.” It was recently announced that Moulin Rouge! The Musical would be closing on July 26, 2026, after a seven-year run, totaling 2,289 performances.
