I expect things like this, and movies, will be her aim now. Possibly relaunching her solo career.

Nicole seems to absolutely love performing and she loves an audience. She has a one-in-a-million voice, like a cross between Judy Garland and Whitney Houston. You make it sound like she begrudgingly got up on stage because she had to, whereas I think she sees it as a dream come true and is loving every moment of it. She has spend a significant amount of time on the stage, too. She didn't just exactly roll on the boards for a few weeks, collect a Tony and leave. She said that she wasn't even able to audition for roles at previous points in her career (i.e. she wouldn't be seen).
She is also approaching her 50s, not in her 20s or even 30s. Even with her talent, even with a Tony win she isn't just going to be suddenly walking into Hollywood studios expecting they start filming her (you know she isn't LITERALLY Norma Desmond right?). Every project is still going to be a battle, and I'm sure she is about to have a mix of successes and failures like everyone does.
I wish Nicole well....I do think for a Las Vegas residency to work she would design a new show with a new repertoire. Why does she need to limit herself?
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.
