Meg Donnelly will will make her Broadway debut in the Tony-winning Moulin Rouge! The Musical in November. She is mostly known for her work as Addison in Disney’s Zombies film franchise and Taylor Otto in the ABC sitcom American Housewife. 

Donnelly will step into the role of Satine starting November 11 for a limited engagement through March 1, 2026 at Broadway’s Al Hirschfeld Theatre.

About the role, she said :

“I cannot believe I am saying the words, ‘I am making my Broadway debut.’ What. I have been dreaming of this moment since birth, and it is hard to fathom it is even real. I am beyond excited to play Satine and to be joining this incredible show, cast, and crew. You can tell it is truly family at Moulin Rouge! The Musical, everyone has been extremely welcoming and supportive. Ah! I am so happy to be surrounded by theatre kids again. I am coming home! This whole time I keep picturing what little me would be thinking!? I am doing this for her.”

The Broadway company currently features Emmy winner Wayne Brady (The Wiz, Let’s Make a Deal) as Harold Zidler (through November 9), original Rent star Taye Diggs as the Duke of Monroth (through September 28), Ashley Loren as Satine, and Christian Douglas, in his Broadway debut, as Christian.

The production is directed by Alex Timbers with a book by John Logan (based on the Baz Luhrmann-directed movie of the same name) and choreography by Sonya Tayeh. The score features covers of “Firework” by Katy Perry, “Your Song” by Elton John, and “Chandelier” by Sia, among many other modern pop songs.

The story takes place at Paris’ famed Moulin Rouge and follows the tragic love story between performer Satine and composer Christian.
