A Musical for Viola Davis

I have no idea if she can sing, but...

Viola Davis is currently a Grammy award away from winning an EGOT. As of the 2010s, the Grammy for Best Musical Theatre Album is awarded to the principal vocalists, as well as the producers/crew.

What musical could Viola Davis star in, potentially putting her in proximity of an EGOT?

(I know this sounds incredibly crazy in theory, but it's been spinning in my head all morning).

Can she sing, tho?

She'd be a great Miranda Priestly...

There's a better chance of her winning for a Spoken Word category, I would think.  Maybe she could narrate a book on tape or her autobiography (which I don't believe she's written)?

If she could sing she would be a brilliant Caroline in Caroline or Change

She doesn't need to be in a musical to win a Grammy.

I guarantee this morning she and her agent are looming for upcoming publications for her to narrate.

Correct, and that's fully understood by me. However, as I don't see her dropping an album any time soon, the two categories she could win are Spoken Word (as someone mentioned) and Musical Theatre (as a principal vocalist).
