She added, “Broadway demands a different level of discipline, preparation, and storytelling, but I’m up for the challenge and can’t wait for the Hotties to see a new side of me.”
Meg’s upcoming turn as the flamboyant impresario of the titular Parisian nightclub will mark the first time a female-identifying performer takes on the part.
Zidler was previously played by Wayne Brady and Boy George on Broadway, as well as Jim Broadbent in the 2001 movie of the same name.
Producer Carmen Pavlovic hailed the Savage rapper’s casting as “historic,” adding, “Megan is a true global superstar.
“She is one of the most influential artists of her generation, and her impact on music and culture is undeniable.”
