Can she sing? A limited run of this show would be sold out before performances started. 
 
It really is the definition of a pipe dream but I find it interesting how she could probably  make any show a hit. 
		     						     						
		     			I belive she has said on her show that she cannot sing and is pretty terrified of it.

Can't they auto tune live performances now?

I see her more as the washing machine. Or bus.
Or change.
		     			gypsy, I was going to bring that up. Didn't they get rid of that opening pretty quick. Did it even last the whole season they did it for? She didn't even like it. 
 
Oprah needs to do a play, not a musical.

I want to see Heather Headley in 10 years play Caroline.

		     			Can she fly? She could play Peter Pan! A limited run of this show would be sold out before performances started.

She is not totally keen on acting either, so it's unlikely we'll ever see her on Broadway, other than as a producer.
Jay, she has said that she wants to do Broadway and has a number of scripts that she is looking at.
I would love to see this show on Broadway, but with a real singer!
If they adapted Caroline (like Fanny and Irma La Duce) into a non-musical story, I'd love to see Oprah do it.
Isn't Caroline supposed to be 38 years old? Oprah looks great, but she doesn't look that young.
best12, I would too.
uncageg, I didn't realize - I've heard her say in the past that acting wasn't "her path"...I highly doubt it'll be Caroline, Or Change, though. But if that's what Oprah wants, no doubt that's what Oprah will get. If she were to do a play, I'd rather it be brand new and an original character.
I am not a big Oprah fan but I do enjoy her acting and would see her in a play.
		     			Oprah could never sing the score. "Lot's Wife" has to be, if not the hardest, then one of the hardest songs to sing.  
 
They could always tweak the show, so Caroline doesn't sing her own songs, but a glamorous fantasy version of herself sings the songs. 
		     						     						
Oprah's name isn't always a box office guarantee. Remember Beloved?
