Donnelly will take on the role of Satine starting November 11, with a limited engagement running through March 1, 2026, at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. The actress is best known for her roles as Addison in Disney’s Zombies franchise and Taylor Otto on ABC’s American Housewife.

“You can tell it is truly family at ‘Moulin Rouge! The Musical,’ everyone has been extremely welcoming and supportive,” Donnelly continued. “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.”
