Do you know who we're talking about here? She's started her training in musical theatre and is fresh off one of the hottest film performances in a movie musical since Jennifer Hudson (and getting better reviews). If the timing were right and the money is there, then she'd jump at a chance like this. Especially given that this would be the first EVER revival of the show on Broadway.

I mean, believe me if they thought the show would be sustainable with someone else they would surely do it. It's almostalways about money. And I'm c

But you know, people just don't like her. I think she would be great as Elphaba and Fanny Brice, but at this point both projets seems odd to cast her after such a long time."
Uhh..have you heard Lady Gaga sing? Like really sing? Moral of the story: you’re wrong.

Doesn't Ryan Murphy no longer have the rights toFunny Girl?"
Until last October, he still had the rights and Lea was talking that she did a concert with many songs of the score. She also said that she told Ryan that now she feels that she's ready to play the part."
Count me in favor of the Lady Gaga Funny Girl idea. Been saying this for years.
Gaga as Evita shouldn't even be humored. It's the same as having Sierra Boggess as Maria. There are plenty Latinx actresses for that roll. However, she would sing the **** out of it.
They generally see the show in the last week of previews prior to the official opening. I think the last one to break this model was The Front Page last season when Scott Rudin forced critics to see it Opening Night for the first time.
She's performed 'She Used To Be Mine' on her tour that she's been on. Not for nothing, she was actually very good in that Dolly Parton TV movie...even if the rest of it was...well...not.
Pretty sure she means Come FROM Away in that article. Since that is coming next season. I could see On Your Feet going on tour like Motown and now Finding Neverland to make way for Spongebob.
After Motown, I heard that War Paint does have the Nederlander.
Also...no one is asking for the Illusionists to come back...can they just not?
