Anita Dobson is well-known here as the original pub landlady (1985-1987) in EastEnders. The episode of this that achieved what are still the highest ratings ever on British television featured her in the central storyline. She also got into the charts at the time singing a cringe-inducing song based on the EastEnders theme music.
In terms of musical theatre, she went on to headline in an interesting West End flop called Budgie opposite Adam Faith, a stage adaption of a TV series of the same name. She toured the UK in the title role of Hello Dolly a couple of years ago and may have done other musicals inbetween that I cannot recall.
Off-stage she is Mrs Brian May and so probably doesn't need to work.

Does she have a big enough voice to sing "Who's That Woman?"

I find it interesting that Anita Dobson almost didn't play Angie. She wasn't available when they started EastEnders so they went with another actress. Then Dobson became available and the other actress was given the heave-ho.
YouTube has her singing the EastEnd theme. Sorry, I'm at work and can't link it.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I very much doubt it. Unless, like Imelda, she's developed a power voice.
The casting for this concert seems very hit and miss.
And the food-menu doesn't interest me at all.

Probably the right decision - I don't think EastEnders had problems with its casting.
And in reverse transitioning, Maria Friedman is now the latest viper behind the bar in EastEnders:
