NEW YORK — Megan Thee Stallion said she was suffering from exhaustion when she was rushed to a New York hospital after she became ill during a Broadway performance of “Moulin Rouge! The Musical.”
The “Savage (Remix)” singer, 31, had to exit midway during the production, which is her Broadway debut.
The musician was expected to return to the show on Thursday, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Doctors said that Megan was suffering from extreme exhaustion, dehydration, vasoconstriction and low metabolic levels, the entertainment news website reported.
In an Instagram post, Megan said she thought she was going to pass out during her performance.
“Last night was a real wake-up call for me,” she wrote. “I’ve 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’t.”
The three-time Grammy Award winner, whose legal name is Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, had begun an eight-week engagement at the Hirschfeld Theatre on March 24 and was scheduled to perform through May 17, Variety reported.
She was playing the role of Zidler in “Moulin Rouge! The Musical” according to Deadline.
Tuesday’s show began normally, with the rapper appearing in the show’s opening scenes, but she began experiencing discomfort midway through the production, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The show was stopped, and theater officials apologized to the audience, asking them to “stay inside and seated,” the entertainment news website reported.
Another actor took Megan’s place on stage.
Megan said she appreciated her fans and was rested and ready to resume her role.
“I’ll be right back on that stage Thursday, stronger, clearer, and ready to give you 100% the way you deserve,” Megan wrote on Instagram.
After seven years on Broadway, “Moulin Rouge! The Musical” will end its run on July 26, Variety reported. When the show closes, it will have played 2,265 regular performances and 24 previews, according to the entertainment news website.
That makes it the 36th-longest-running show in Broadway history.
