I remember reading somewhere that Beyonce is aiming for the EGOT. I know that she does not have to physically perform on Broadway to be eligible for a Tony Award, but if she were to do a show what could you see her in?

It wouldn't happen, but could you imagine her as Angelica in Hamilton?!?!

Sorry this just dawned on me: I know that the role is Megan's but I could actually see her being quite good in Bombshell.

Due to the success of Bruce Springsteen’s intimate one-man show SPRINGSTEEN ON BROADWAY, this type of intimate format would appeal to her. BEYONCÉ ON BROADWAY on a marquee says more than required to bring in audiences. A limited engagement. Controlled and secure setting. Beyoncé can’t refuse this opportunity.
Though it could win her a Special Tony Award as these type of productions bring, its still a Tony Award, nonetheless.

Realistically, I could only see her doing a one-woman residency-type situation (like Springsteen or Chenoweth), but I would love to see her play
Angelica in Hamilton
The Witch in Into the Woods
Glinda in The Wiz (I know NBC offered her the role)
Shug Avery in The Color Purple
Grace Ferrell in Annie
Rachel Madden in The Bodyguard
Im not completely sold on these but I could also potentially see:
The Fairy Godmother in Cinderella
The Lady of the Lake in Spamalot

Beyonce is a fabulous performer. I’ve seen her in concert multiple times and you leave feeling fabulous and thoroughly entertained. No doubt is she performing the shiz out everything. But we learned a big thing about Beyonce in Dreamgirls.
Beyonce cannot act her way out of a paper bag.
She is a great performer, but she is not a small audience actor.

Yep, she's going to seamlessly move into that role after her star replacement turn as Gretchen Weiners. Brilliant!

Being fair she gave a really great performance in Cadillac Records.
I think she should do something original. I've always thought she'd be phenomenal in something like If/Then. Or maybe something horror like/thriller with her as a villain, she's ferocious when she fully commits to anger. I'd rather she not come to Broadway with a love story, something more dynamic would show her off.
