I only recently became a fan of Beyonce (I really wasn't that
impressed with her in "Dreamgirls")--since "Cadillac Dreams"--will see
her new movie, "Obsessed" tomorrow--her wanting to do Broadway is
interesting.
Beyonce Says "Definitely" Wants Broadway Role
Filed at 4:28 p.m. ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Grammy Award winning singer and actress Beyonce Knowles has a plan to settle down in a couple of years and have some children with her husband, hip hop mogul Jay-Z, do less touring and -- debut on Broadway.
"It's
my ideal job," Knowles told Reuters, while promoting her latest film
role in "Obsessed," in which she plays a wife who takes on her
husband's stalker.
"I'll be able to go to the theater every day
and drop my kids off and maybe make some food -- maybe I'll know how to
cook by then -- and then go do what I love and have some normalcy and
have a regular schedule."
"I definitely want to do Broadway."
Knowles,
27, said she loved playing Sharon Charles in "Obsessed," which opens in
U.S. theaters on Friday, her first non-singing film role after
performances in screen musicals including "Cadillac Records" and
"Dreamgirls."
"I love this role because in most of these movies
the man comes in and saves the day. And my character Sharon is the
hero. She's strong and doesn't choose to be the victim, call her
husband, call the police, hide in the attic -- she fights," said
Knowles.
The singer's "I Am..." world tour, which begins this
week in Croatia, is dramatic but, "I wouldn't say Broadway," said
Knowles , who has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide.
"It's really theatrical and I do, of course, all of the singles."
