Megan Thee Stallion was performing in “Moulin Rouge! The Musical” on Tuesday night in New York City when she became ill during the opening moments of the show. The Broadway performance was briefly halted after she nearly fainted on stage. She was later taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation. An alternate performer stepped in to finish the production while she received care.

The incident came just days after she made history as the first woman to portray Harold Zidler.
