Singer, songwriter, dancer, and actress Meg Donnelly, known for her work as Addison in Disney’s Zombies film franchise, made her Broadway debut in the Tony-winning Moulin Rouge! The Musical November 11.

Donnelly, who also gained national recognition for her work as Taylor Otto on the ABC sitcom American Housewife, has stepped into the role of Satine for a limited engagement through March 1, 2026. Watch the actor take her first curtain call at Broadway’s Al Hirschfeld Theatre in the gallery below.

In an earlier statement Donnelly 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.”

In addition to her TV work, Donnelly is also making waves as a musician. Her latest EP is titled dying art.

Donnelly joins a cast that currently includes Christian Douglas as Christian, Robert Petkoff as Harold Zidler, André Ward as Toulouse-Lautrec, David Harris as The Duke of Monroth, Pepe Muñoz as Santiago, Samantha Dodemaide as Nini Hailee, and Kaleem Wright as the Satine Alternate.
