In a new interview with the Evening Standard, LA LA LAND star Emma Stone reveals that she is anxious to get back to live theater, although perhaps not in a musical production. "I definitely would love to do theatre again," she reveals, adding "I don't know if I'd be able to do a musical any time soon just because maintaining the voice is pretty tricky for me, but, my God, I'd love to do theatre again very soon."

The recent Golden Globe Award winner went on to say she would love to appear in a West End production, teasing, "I'm looking." Regarding her dream musical, Stone shares, "I've already done my dream musical, Cabaret. That was my dream. I really don't have any others that I'm dying to do. Really, honestly, my voice can't take it, but straight plays-there's about a zillion of those!" Watch the interview in full HERE
