It's all in the link the OP didn't post.

Where did you hear this (besides the voices in your head)?

To me, it doesn't sound like she has anything concrete right now—just that she'd never say no to Broadway.

Voices in my head? Why are you so rude? What’s the point?

I'm hoping it's Dolly!
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

The point is, when you start a thread based on something you read on the internet, you include a link to where you read that, so we have a nice thing called context.
And don't even use the "it's right there at the top of the page!" defense — things don't stay up there in the headlines because they roll off after some time.

In the OP's defense, I knew where it came from because I read the article earlier today.

My reading is that she is in talks about a specific project but doesn’t want to say what it is until it’s officially confirmed and/or announced. If it is Dolly, I predict we won’t hear for a while because they won’t want to disrupt current ticket sales (which if Telecharge is transparent actually look like they are going to be fine after a couple more slower weeks. The advance seems to be building in the warmer months).
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

Anything is possible. She would be a perfect "Dolly". In the meanwhile, I am traveling north to see her in concert with the Los Angeles Opera in May. A few days later, here at home with the San Diego Symphony Orchestra. And in April next year, back north with the Los Angeles Symphony. I love Audra McDonald.
Here is a link to her website, if you're interested in her touring schedule.

I didn’t use any defense. I just asked why he was being rude to me.. that’s all. I didn’t know about the link. My apologies for that.

It’s clear she is in early talks for a project. I, too, hope it’s Dolly because she’d be incandescent.

I never felt like she wasn't. Unless it was to semi-retire to focus on her family and her infant child for a while, I feel like the most prolific Broadway actress of all time still has many years and many shows left in her...

Is it strange I hope it isn't DOLLY? Don't get me wrong, I love her and would buy that ticket in a heartbeat. But I would be thrilled to see her in anything and I like that DOLLY is opening the door to older Bway legends less likely to have a starring vehicle, let alone one so opulent.

I’m not Audra, but if someone blamed me and my pregnancy for their show closing, I wouldn’t want to work with them again.
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.

My reaction was the inverse: If I were someone who blamed her and her pregnancy for his show closing (not to mention with a reputation for holding and acting on grudges), I wouldn't work with her again.
Some folks here have short (or no) memories.

I agree. I hope it's a new production.

I had the exact same thought right away. But I know how quickly this board can descend into speculation of feuds/scandal, so I didn't go there. Hard to know if Rudin actually blames her or took that position legally so he could get the insurance money. Either way, I would imagine they'd work together again, just perhaps not so soon.
But as I said, I hope it's something else.
