Megan Thee Stallion<\/a> was hospitalized after falling ill during a Broadway performance of “Moulin Rouge! The Musical<\/a>,” where the Grammy-winning rapper is making her stage debut.<\/p>\n

During a performance Tuesday, March 31, “Megan started feeling very ill and was promptly transported to a local hospital, where her symptoms are currently being evaluated,” a spokesperson said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The production, at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in Manhattan, was halted mid-show after Megan Thee Stallion exited. An understudy completed the performance.<\/p>\n

“Everyone say a prayer for Megan, we are all at the hospital,” Kellon Deryck, the rapper’s hairstylist, wrote on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Megan Thee Stallion, whose real name is Megan Pete, began her limited Broadway run March 24. She plays Harold Zidler, the flamboyant club owner and emcee – a role originated by Tony Award winner Danny Burstein and later performed by Tituss Burgess, Boy George and Wayne Brady.<\/p>\n

Her casting marked a milestone for the long-running production, becoming the first woman to take on the role on Broadway.<\/p>\n

Ahead of her debut, the Houston rapper – who has also drawn recent attention for her relationship with former Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson<\/a> – emphasized her desire to expand creatively.<\/p>\n

“Stepping onto the Broadway stage and joining the \u2018Moulin Rouge! The Musical’ team is an absolute honor,” Megan Thee Stallion said in a statement at the time. “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.”<\/p>\n

The eight-week engagement is scheduled to run through May 17. It remains unclear whether upcoming performances will be affected.<\/p>\n

Representatives for the production and the artist said further updates on her condition will be provided as they become available.<\/p>\n
