If anyone is curious, in July of 2020 Megan, “suffered multiple gunshot wounds.”"
I would imagine considering there's been literally thousands of working actors on Broadway over the past 100 years, No. And just and incredibly stupid thing to bring up as if it has any relevance?"
I get what you’re saying, but the question wasn’t meant to be dismissive or “irrelevant.” It’s more about curiosity around how far medical treatment and recovery have come. Someone like Megan Thee Stallion being able to go from a traumatic injury like a gunshot wound to performing at a high level on Broadway actually says a lot about modern medicine, rehabilitation, and resilience.
Broadway is physically demanding, and historically, injuries like that could have ended a performer’s career entirely. So the point isn’t that she’s the only one or even definitively the first, it’s that it’s notable and worth talking about how people are able to recover and return to elite performance spaces. It’s less about trivia and more about recognizing how recovery and opportunity have evolved.
