If Adele were to pursue the Tony Award she needs to complete her EGOT, there’s only one role she could see herself taking on, the singer During a recent promotional event “I Drink Wine”Music video
“I saw [‘Gypsy’] in London and I did love the role of the mum in it,”She was referring to Rose. “She has a song when she was like, ‘I wanted to do all of this’ and she’s jealous of her own daughter and she’s really caught up about it. At one bit, she was just a bitch in it which I could nail.”
Although admittedly it is a bit of a stretch. “not a massive Broadway fan,” she said she was taken by a production of the Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim musical she saw in London – particularly, the number “Rose’s Turn.”
Adele joked that her work ethic might throw a wrench in her Broadway plans – just ask her friend and musical superstar Bette Midler.
“I actually know Bette Midler, which is a big flex, right? Because she’s one of my idols,” Adele said. “She was like, ‘You would never be able to keep up with the schedule on Broadway.’ Because I’m so lazy. I’m so notoriously lazy … I would not be able to do matinees and all that. I don’t have the stamina for that.”
Most likely, the singer would bring her. “Weekends With Adele”The residency, which will be starting next month, follows a postponement that occurred earlier this year to Broadway.
“I don’t think I’ve seen enough [Broadway] as a grown-up to know if I would want to do it,”She continued. “I was wondering, do I just move the show from Vegas to Broadway and win the Tony? I actually prefer the sound of an EGO than an EGOT. EGO is fun.”
Even though the chances of it happening are slim, “Never say never,”She laughed. “If I move to New York, I get bored, I’ll be on that stage in a hot second.”
Adele will soon join a small number of people who have received at least one Emmy or Grammy, Oscar, Oscar or Tony Award. Adele was awarded an Academy Award for her James Bond theme song. “Skyfall,”15 Grammys for her albums “19,” “21” “25,”She also receives an Emmy “Adele One Night Only”Concert special.
