Tough night for rapper Megan Thee Stallion.

She just joined the cast of Broadway’s “Moulin Rouge.”

Tonight’s performance was suddenly stopped when Megan had to be taken to the hospital. Her actual name is Megan Jovon Ruth Pete.

According to Twitter account @LorenLorosa, an observer, the show eventually continued with a Black male actor playing the role of Charles Zidler, the French impresario who created the real Moulin Rouge.

The production says: “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. We will share additional updates as more information becomes available.”
