Megan Thee Stallion Hospitalized After Falling Ill Mid-Performance at Moulin Rouge! The Musical

April 23, 2026

Megan Thee Stallion was hospitalized late Tuesday night after falling ill during a performance of Moulin Rouge! The Musical in New York, exiting the show midway through the performance.

The news was confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter and was corroborated by an eyewitness account from The Breakfast Club’s Loren Lorosa, who attended the performance.

“During Tuesday night’s production, Megan started feeling very ill and was promptly transported to a local hospital, where her symptoms are currently being evaluated,” her representative Didier Morais told the Hollywood Reporter. “We will share additional updates as more information becomes available.”

The Grammy-winning rapper had been performing at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, where she made her Broadway debut last week in the role of Harold Zidler. The casting marked a historic moment for the long-running musical, as Megan became the first woman to take on the role.
