Megan Thee Stallion has announced that she will be leaving her role as Zidler in “Moulin Rouge! The Musical” earlier than originally planned on May 17.
The Grammy Award winning performer has announced that her final performance will be on May 1. The announcement comes just days after the artist took to social media to accuse her partner NBA player Klay Thompson of infidelity.
Megan Thee Stallion released a statement saying, “unfortunately, my last performance on “Moulin Rouge! The Musical” will be May 1. It’s been such an honor to be part of “Moulin Rouge” and I’ve met so many amazing people in this theatre! Y’all work so hard and I have so much respect for the dedication, the stamina, the work ethic, the time and the effort y’all put into the work! Every single person at the “Moulin Rouge” has inspired me to go harder as an entertainer. I’m so grateful for the cast and crew that made this experience so meaningful. Y’all are really some of the kindest human beings I’ve ever met! To all the Hotties that showed up or planned to attend, thank you for supporting me during this incredible journey!”
The show has yet to announce who will be replacing Megan from May 2 to 17; but Zidler originator Eric Anderson will reprise his role beginning May 19.
Currently Patrick Clanton is the Zidler understudy.
“Moulin Rouge! The Musical” has extended its run until August 30.
