Megan Thee Stallion has been rushed to hospital after she became "very ill" during a performance on Broadway.

The 31-year-old music star was appearing in a performance of Moulin Rouge! The Musical at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in New York City on Tuesday night (31.03.26) when she started feeling unwell so she withdrew from the show and was replaced by an understudy.

A spokesperson for Megan revealed she had been taken to hospital. A statement released to PEOPLE explained: "During Tuesday night's production [of Moulin Rouge! The Musical], Megan started feeling very ill and was promptly transported to a local hospital, where her symptoms are currently being evaluated.

"We will share additional updates as more information becomes available."

Entertainment reporter Loren LoRosa was in the audience for the performance and she revealed the show was stopped for a few minutes leaving the audience baffled.

In a post on X, she wrote: "Came to see Meg The stallion on broadway and that was short lived. The few opening scenes I saw her in she was great on stage! I was excited BUT…

"They just stopped Moulin Rouge mid show apologized to the audience and said ..'Stay inside and seated' I asked security if we're safe ... they told us 'For now, we'll update you if anything changes'."

LoRosa later updated her page by adding the statement from Megan's representative confirming the star had fallen ill.

Megan's hair stylist Kellon Deryck also shared a post on X, urging fans to keep the star in their prayers, writing: "Everyone say a prayer for Megan, we are all at the hospital."

Megan made her debut as Zidler in Moulin Rouge! The Musical on March 26 and she's due to remain with the show for an eight-week run which ends on May 17.

Announcing her role in the production, Megan shared her delight in a statement, which read: "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 theater is definitely a new opportunity that I'm excited to embrace.

"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."
