Regardless of style or talent level, Lady Gaga would be announced for a Broadway show tomorrow if she were interested enough to do one, just based on her name value and fan base. I hope she does decide to do a Broadway show someday, but I cannot imagine that that day will be any time soon since she's been launched as a movie star and still had her music career to keep up. I just cannot see her pressing pause on any of that to commit 6 months to a year to Broadway.
She'll come to Broadway at some point in future when things in music and movies have slowed a bit for her or when she's genuinely looking for a new challenge enough to take the time to do it.
Bette Midler did not come back to Broadway in the 1980's when she was a hot movie/pop star. She was far too busy making too much money doing those things. |
