Just days after making her Broadway debut, Megan Thee Stallion was hospitalized during Tuesday’s performance of “Moulin Rouge! The Musical.”
The New York City Fire Department confirmed to the Daily News that they received a call just before 10 p.m. of someone “having difficulty breathing.” FDNY then responded to the address of the Al Hirschfeld Theatre with EMS having “evaluated one civilian who refused transport to the hospital.” They could not provide further information on the person’s condition.
A representative for the 31-year-old Grammy winner, born Megan Pete, told TMZ Wednesday afternoon that she was resting at home, following treatment and diagnosis for extreme exhaustion, dehydration, vasoconstriction, and low metabolic levels. She’s expected to return to the stage Thursday.

The “Mamushi” rapper, who plays The Zidler in the show, began “feeling very ill” during Tuesday’s production and “was promptly transported to a local hospital, where her symptoms are currently being evaluated,” her rep said previously, along with vowing to “share additional updates as more information becomes available.”
Megan’s representative did not immediately respond to The News’ request for comment.
Some of the timing is unclear as best friend and celebrity hair stylist Kellon Deryck tweeted at 9:29 p.m. asking people to “say a prayer for Megan, we are all at the hospital.”
That would be nearly half an hour before FDNY received the call at 9:58 p.m. but confirmed to The News that they “did not transport anyone” from the theater.
Earlier Tuesday, Megan shared a clip from her guest role on Tuesday’s episode of NBC’s “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins,” opposite Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe. Fans shared their well wishes in the comments section of another post.
