Megan Thee Stallion Debuts on Broadway in Moulin Rouge!, Gender-Flips Harold Zidler

Megan Thee Stallion will make her Broadway debut in Moulin Rouge! The Musical, playing a gender-flipped Harold Zidler at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre for eight weeks (Mar 24–May 17). This marks the first time a female-identifying performer portrays Zidler in any Moulin Rouge production. Despite strong attendance, the show is expensive to mount and will close on July 26 after seven years on Broadway, with producers hinting Megan’s songs will be incorporated into the jukebox score.

Broadway’s Moulin Rouge! to Close After Seven-Year Run

Moulin Rouge! The Musical will close on Broadway after seven years, with its final performance on July 26 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, after logging 2,265 regular performances and 24 previews. The show—an adaptation of Baz Luhrmann’s film that won 10 Tony Awards—became a costly production due to music rights and elaborate sets, but it recouped its investment in late 2022. Opened in 2019, was interrupted by the pandemic, and reopened in 2021; producers hinted at more announcements before the curtain falls.

Edgewater Neighbors Challenge Broadway Upzone in Court

Edgewater residents and Edgewater/Uptown business owners have sued the City of Chicago to overturn Broadway’s upzoning approved by City Council, arguing due process and notification failures and that the rezoning to allow taller, denser development along Broadway from Devon to Montrose—with changes to zoning classifications (C1-5, B3-5, B3-3) and a pedestrian-street designation—threatens the neighborhood’s fabric. A March 13 hearing is scheduled in Cook County Circuit Court; the city says it has not yet been served. Supporters and opponents held campaigns around the rezoning as the lawsuit proceeds.
