Megan, who plays Zidler in the beloved Broadway production, was quickly taken to hospital and is still undergoing an evaluation, it is believed.

A representative of the Savage rapper told TMZ: “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.”

There is yet to be any further update on her condition.

Megan’s personal hairstylist and close friend Kellon Deryck has come out since to ask fans to say “a prayer” for the rapper.

Megan is due to appear in the Moulin Rouge! The Musical until May 17 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.

Her casting as Zidler marks a history making moment for the star as she becomes the first female-identifying performer to play the role in any production of Moulin Rouge worldwide.

Megan released a statement when she was announced as Ziddler earlier this year, saying: “Stepping onto the Broadway stage and joining the Moulin Rouge! The Musical team is an absolute honor.

“I’ve always believed in pushing myself creatively and theatre is definitely a new opportunity that I’m excited to embrace.
