From deuxmois lips to gods ears, god I hope she returns to broadway. Anyone got info on what the show/role she’d be playing is?

She'd better have a massive co-star because, box office wise, I think she'd mean even less than Leslie Odom Jr in Purlie. But looking through the guys who might be best known for an Apple TV show (as opposed to a Marvel movie), none of them would set the box office ablaze... Luke Evans? Taron Egerton? David Oyelowo? Joel Kinnaman? Justin Theroux? Lee Pace? Jack Lowden? Charlie Hunnam? Billy Crudup allegedly has his Broadway return set, and has been in 2 Apple shows, but I wouldn't call him a "hottie."
Could this be the Rebecca Frecknall production of STREETCAR with a new cast?

Yes, as was Tom Holland, but as I said above it would be very odd to call them an "Apple Drama Hottie" instead of a "Marvel Hottie" unless this person is looking to purposely mislead the reader.
It’s almost like trolling that Broadway missed out on Cate Blanchett, Gillian Anderson, and Audra’s Blanches, but instead got Meghann Fahey and Nicole Ari Parker.
The fact that Blanchett didn’t take Streetcar to Broadway but instead chose her husband’s horrendous Chekhov adaptation as her Broadway debut literally hurts my soul.

Cate’s Blanche was Top 3 greatest things I’ve ever seen in my life.
I haven’t. But I’m never mad at “Streetcar” being done and it’ll be 12 years since the last revival, if it does happen next year.
I know I’m in the minority on this but the recent West End revival was worth it only for Paul Mescal who was maybe the best Stanley I’ve ever seen (live). The adoration for Patsy will forever confuse me, as I thought she gave a performance you’d see an actress give first day first day of rehearsal. There was absolutely nothing she did that made me think she was right for Blanche.
I enjoy Frecknall’s work very much but this “Jamie Lloyd” style of a bare stage and a band on top was (to me) stupid. So if we do get a revival, I hope it’s a full on production.
It would only make sense for this to be the Frecknall production…and arguably will sell better because Egerton is a bigger name than Mescal…and especially if they have other names besides Fahy in the cast…also with there being no set it is easy for this to play at a theatre such as the Jacobs before outsiders comes in

Surprising re: Taron given he barely did any performances in Cock (not that the producers noticed because in typical west end scam they took all the money and refused refunds).
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000
Reports were he caught Covid, and it must have hit him particularly hard.

I'm sure Streetcar is more marketable, but I'm a little bit surprised he's not coming over with Cock, tbh. Keep Jonathan Bailey alongside him and you could probably sell some tickets.
