Great article. It is unfortunate that she didn't do more shows earlier due to her lack of movie/TV career. I guess it is great that she eventually did come back to Broadway as a leading lady.
Interesting to see she wants to do a musical, even a movie musical. She would have been great as Carla in the NINE film. Though I would love to see her do an actual live musical on Broadway.

I remember reading somewhere one of her colleagues said she had an amazing voice, I'd love to hear it someday.

She does have a great singing voice indeed. She has performed in musicals before, many people who saw her play Louise/Gypsy Rose Lee in GYPSY say she gave a marvelous performance.
She recorded "My Heart Is So Full Of You" for the UNEXPECTED DREAMS album that also features Victor Garber's impeccable rendition of "No One Is Alone." You can buy the song on iTunes.

Jennifer Garner's childhood dream takes her to Broadway
Gannett News Service

It would be hard to argue with Jennifer Garner's success on the big and small screens. But she says her first real career break comes Nov. 1 when she hits the Broadway stage.

Garner will play Roxanne to Kevin Kline's long-beaked lover when "Cyrano de Bergerac" opens at the Richard Rodgers Theater in New York. The show will run through Dec. 23.

This marks Garner's Broadway debut, and she calls it "the one thing I've really wanted to do all my life."

"I've had such good luck in my career," she says of her TV and film roles, which included playing Sydney Bristow in ABC's "Alias" and a federal investigator in Sept. 28's "The Kingdom."

"But those were all accidents," says Garner, 35. "The stage is what I dreamed about doing when I was a kid."

So it makes sense that she rehearses with her own. Garner, who has a daughter, Violet, with husband Ben Affleck, says she prepares for the role when mother and daughter tuck in at night.

"I get under the covers with her and read my lines with a flashlight," she says. "But I can only do two pages at a time. It wakes her if I turn the page. But what a great way to prepare."
