It's about to be a Broadway girl spring for Megan Thee Stallion.

The "Hot Girl Summer" rapper, 31, is set to make her Broadway debut in "Moulin Rouge! The Musical," joining the stage show for a limited eight-week engagement from March 24 through May 17.

The Grammy winner will star as nightclub impresario Zidler, and the production noted she will become the first female-identifying performer to play the role. In a statement, Megan Thee Stallion said it's an "absolute honor" to join "Moulin Rouge" and noted it will be a new creative challenge for her.

"I've always believed in pushing myself creatively and theater is definitely a new opportunity that I'm excited to embrace," she said. "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."

Based on the jukebox musical film of the same name, "Moulin Rouge!" has won 10 Tony Awards, including best musical, best lead actor in a musical for Aaron Tveit and best featured actor in a musical for Danny Burstein, who played Harold Zidler.
