Oscar-nominated actress Sharon Stone is hoping to make her Broadway debut someday. In a recent interview with Variety, she talked about all of her ideas for shows she'd like to star in, including a gender-swapped La Cage aux Folles, a stage production of All About Eve, and a punk-era Mame.
Stone shared that she had been offered Broadway roles in the past, but nothing ever felt right. She also shared that she tried to secure the rights for a stage production of All About Eve, which never came to be.
"I could be a good Margo Channing,” she said. “I mean, in my sleep. Let’s go. Come on. When she goes, ‘I hate men.’”
Stone said that she recently pitched the idea for a punk-era production of Mame to her agent.
“I was like, ‘Can we get ‘Mame’ and reset it in the punk era?” she said. “I could work at a department store in New York and get a biracial kid and be Mame in the punk era. The kid could have a mohawk. I would have bleached blonde Blondie hair. I could get Debbie Harry to do the music and Billy Idol."
Another idea she had was a gender-swapped production of La Cage aux Folles. “’La Cage’ with two lesbians,” Stone said. “I play the lipstick lesbian and you find a big butch lesbian who has to fem it up.”
However, despite all of Stone's unique ideas, none of them have ever come to be. “I tell people these ideas and they just look at me and are like, ‘What the f*ck are you taking?’," she said.
