The Grammy Award-winning rapper made her debut in the show last week at New York’s Al Hirschfeld Theatre in the role of Zidler, marking not only her first ever Broadway 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 “Savage” and “Body.”
According to a post on X, Tuesday’s show began as normal with Meg featured in opening scenes but the performance was stopped mid-show as theater officials apologized to the audience and asked them to “stay inside and seated.” Megan then exited the performance and was reportedly replaced by another performer for the rest of the show.
