Jennifer Lawrence!!! - was amazing in Silver Lining
Cate Blanchett - Loved her in Blue Jasmine
Imelda Staunton
Meryl Streep - not sure if she would be good or bad.
Theatre is a different beast from Movies
but really new talent that can really hold their own in a show

Imelda should definitely do some Broadway !!
I doubt Cate will ever do Broadway, she seems against the idea or would have done it already. and Meryl also has said she won't do Broadway again.
Jennifer Lawrence doesn't have any training on stage but maybe when she's older like in her 30s she could come do a Broadway play, I doubt that would interest her though.

Posted: 11/19/14 at 6:59amAmy Adams! She has said several times that she wants to lead a Broadway musical... and she would be incredible, regardless of the part.

Non-singing musicals are straight plays?! Who knew!
I stand by my answer.

HorseTears, Debra Winger has already come to Broadway, and the less said about her, the better.
Jennifer Lawrence could never maintain a character for eight performances a week, and it doesn't sound like she has the discipline for a rehearsal process.

Posted: 11/19/14 at 11:40amOf all the very good suggestions already made, the one I would be most eager to see would be Sissy Spacek.

Posted: 11/19/14 at 11:42amI have found it very curious Sissy Spacek has never done Broadway, I mean she is a singer so she should be comfortable on stage ( like she did so much in Coal Miner's Daughter ) it must not appeal to her.

Some of the actresses mentioned, especially the non-Americans, have said that they are not interested in doing something on Broadway because of the time commitment and not wanting to be away from their homes for that long.

Posted: 11/19/14 at 1:02pmI would love to see Cote de Pablo on Broadway, be it in a play or a musical (since she sings!).

I love the suggestion of Laura Dern. She's such a commanding actress, and I'd love to see her live.
And I'll second Kate Winslet if just so she can have a chance to go for the EGOT.
In terms of actresses I want to see BACK on Broadway, I realize she hasn't been gone that long, but I'd LOVE to see Viola Davis tread the boards again.

Posted: 11/19/14 at 2:24pmI think Jennifer Lawrence would be great as Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

"I think Jennifer Lawrence would be great as Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof."
I think so too, opposite Andrew Garfield as Brick.
