\n\tMegan Thee Stallion<\/a> is back on stage in Moulin Rouge! The Musical<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n \n\tThe Grammy Award-winning rapper returned to the spotlight inside New York\u2019s Al Hirschfeld Theatre on Thursday evening after missing Wednesday\u2019s performance<\/a> and exiting mid-show<\/a> on Tuesday night after falling ill. At the time, her rep said she was rushed to the hospital where she was being treated. On Wednesday morning, Megan\u2019s rep shared a statement with The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> to explain the medical emergency and eventual diagnosis.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cOn Tuesday evening, Megan was transported to a local hospital to undergo a medical evaluation after experiencing concerning symptoms. Doctors ultimately identified extreme exhaustion, dehydration, vasoconstriction and low metabolic levels as the cause of her symptoms. Megan has since been treated, discharged and is now resting.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tMegan Thee Stallion followed it up with an update of her own on Instagram. \u201cLast night was a real wake-up call for me. I\u2019ve been pushing myself past my limits lately, running on empty, and my body finally said enough. It honestly scared me. I thought I was gonna faint on stage, I really tried to push through my performance but I just couldn\u2019t. Hotties I wanna be real with y\u2019all because you mean everything to me and I hate letting yall down,\u201d she posted. \u201cI just need one day to rest, reset, and take care of myself the way I should have been..I\u2019ll be right back on that stage Thursday, stronger, clearer, and ready to give you percent the way you deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tShe did just that by returning to the stage on Thursday night in the role of Zidler. The gig marks not only her first ever Broadway<\/a> performance but also the first time a woman has performed the role in the beloved and long-running jukebox musical. Boldfaced names that have been seated for her performances have included Queen Latifah and Tiffany Haddish, among others. The show has also featured Meg performing her songs \u201cSavage\u201d and \u201cBody.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tWhen THR<\/em> checked for available seats on ATG Tickets, we found that the show was sold-out for Megan\u2019s big return. Earlier today, E! News shared a video<\/a> that featured Megan exiting a black SUV while wearing a pink sweatsuit and furry boots and entering the Al Hirschfeld Theatre ahead of tonight\u2019s performance, and a rep for the show confirmed her return. THR<\/em> reached out to her rep for additional comment.<\/p>\n \n\tThe role of Zidler has previously been filled by the likes of Boy George, Wayne Brady, Tituss Burgess and most recently Bob the Drag Queen. It was originated by Danny Burstein, a veteran Broadway star who won a Tony for his performance. \u201cI\u2019ve always believed in pushing myself creatively,\u201d Megan Thee Stallion said in a statement about joining the show. \u201cAnd theater is definitely a new opportunity that I\u2019m excited to embrace.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
