The Blanchett/Andrews NIGHT MUSIC rumor stems from a rumor of what Scott Rudin had in the pipeline at the time of his stepping-down. As far as I know neither was contracted — but that’s all a moot point because SR is out of the picture and was one of the only producers persuasive enough to close a deal like that. People underestimate his power in closing major talent deals.
I do not see any world in which Andrews returns to Broadway as an actor. She herself had said she’s done acting onstage. Move on, folks.

I'm still hopeful that the Beauty and the Beast revival that Tom Schumacher mentioned pre-pandemic is still in the works

Madame Armfeldt is low enough to be in her remaining range, and the stage time is practically negligible; one big song in Act One (I think you can speak-sing the "Weekend in the Country" bits just fine) and a handful of dialogue scenes in which to be witty and aristocratic. Feel free not to see any world in which it happens, but it's not like it would be a huge ask, which is probably why Rudin thought of Julie in the first place.

Andrews has been offered and turned down dozens of roles on Broadway in the past 20 years. Plays and musicals; lead and supporting. (I recall she was even offered Mme A multiple times in the 2010 revival.) Offering vs considering vs accepting are hugely different things.
