Summary
Megan Thee Stallion, the 31-year-old Grammy-winning rapper whose real name is Megan Pete, has announced she will exit her role as Zidler in the Broadway production of Moulin Rouge the Musical three weeks ahead of schedule. Her originally planned final performance was set for May 17th, but she announced via Instagram that her last show will now be May 1st.
