Actresses you want to see come to Broadway

Based on what I've read about her process, Jennifer Lawrence is really not cut out for stage work at this point in her career. She arrives on set without knowing her lines, and my impression is that what is caught on camera is not something that she can replicate take after take.

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

Well she might be able to use that process for rehearsal depending on how quick a study she is on learning lines. There are actors on stage who don't come in with every word memorized.

I think I would like to see Karen Gillan, Maisie Williams, and Sarah Bolger come to Broadway at some point.

"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. "

Cate Blanchett helps run the Sydney Theatre Company with her husband Andrew Upton I bet time has a lot to do with it. Whenever she comes to New York and does theatre at BAM or City Center it is a production from The Sydney Theatre Company and likely his translation (the maids, uncle vanya and hedda gabler) of the play. Their productions have a bit of an edge compared to what gets financed on broadway.

As for Meryl I believe she said she would return to broadway when her youngest graduated and the right production came to her. I think Louisa is well passed graduation so maybe in the coming years. I have always wanted to see her do long days journey and now she is finally the proper age.

Sigh. From the OP's post:

what are some actresses (non-singers) that you would like to see on stage on Broadway or that haven't been on Broadway in a long time?

Cleo Laine as Mme. Armfeldt. She has not been back since her Tony nomination for Princess Puffer in the original Drood in the mid 1980s. She is still singing. She has to use a cane now due to a bad leg, but that wouldn't matter for this role. Loved her "Liaisons" on her Sondheim CD, recorded when she was much younger.

"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."

Ummm and you know this how?

Tilda Swinton. I'd also like Julianne Moore to come back.

A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.
