Adele has revealed the one Broadway musical she’d consider doing.
Based on Broadway World, the Grammy winner, 34, was attending a fan event when she was asked if she’d attempt to get an EGOT by acting on Broadway, so she could win a Tony.
(EGOT is the designation given to a one that has won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.)
“I can’t lie guys, I’m not an enormous Broadway fan,” Adele said. “I do know, I do know. I’m talking about musicals though because I’ve been seeing a few plays, but I don’t think I’ve seen enough.”
Nevertheless, she said she’d consider playing the role of Rose in a production of “Gypsy,” which she had seen in London.
“I did love the role of the mum in it. She has a song when she was like, ‘I desired to do all of this’ and she or he’s jealous of her own daughter and she or he’s really caught up about it. At one bit, she was only a bitch in it — which I could nail,” she said.
“Gypsy” is loosely based on the 1957 memoirs of burlesque entertainer Gypsy Rose Lee, with a deal with her mom, Rose, as the last word showbiz mom.
Adele already has 15 Grammys and an Oscar for the James Bond theme song, “Skyfall.” She snagged an Emmy last month for Best Outstanding Variety Special for her “One Night Only” concert special on CBS. So a Tony is the one missing piece in her EGOT.
One other obstacle in her path to Broadway is her schedule. She said Bette Midler, who played Rose within the 1993 “Gypsy” TV movie, told her she wouldn’t find a way to maintain up with the demanding schedule.
“Because I’m so lazy. I’m so notoriously lazy,” said Adele. “I might not find a way to do matinees and all that. I don’t have the stamina for that.”
“But never say never. If I move to Latest York, I get bored, I’ll be on that stage in a hot second.”
After an initial hiccup when it got postponed, Adele is ready to begin her Las Vegas residency on the Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Nov. 18. It’s slated to run through March 2023.
