The official TikTok account for "Moulin Rouge! The Musical" replied to Lizzo's cover in the comments, writing, "Great work, Bohemian! Now do it up the octave." Of course, Lizzo responded with a wide-eyed blushing emoji.
Musical fans also praised her performance in the comments of the video, with many encouraging her to make her Broadway dreams come true.
