Weekend Poll Top Three: Adele, Beyonce & Cher, Oh My! Fans Want One-Name Divas to Write for the Great White Way

Sting’s The Last Ship has officially docked on the Great White Way. But now that the tuner has celebrated its opening night, we have a whole host of one-name music stars on our mind. Surely, there are other single-moniker rockers out there who could lend their talents to Broadway. We asked you which musician (with one name) should write a musical for the Great White Way. The votes are in, and here’s who you had to say!

1. Adele—21%
Adele has gone on record to say musical theatre is “not really my kind of thing,” but don’t count out this superstar just yet. From her Grammy-winning 21 to the Oscar-winning “Skyfall,” Adele’s music is certainly not short on theatrics; we’d love to see her pen something specifically for the stage. And let’s face it: Broadway performers just sound so damn good while singing her hits! Quick, someone call up Megan Hilty!


2. Beyoncé—18%
Listening to Beyoncé’s music is not unlike listening to a Broadway musical. You have emotional ballads. You have fierce key changes in rapid succession. You have elaborate Fosse-esque choreography. And as it turns out, our Broadway faves nail it on Beyoncé, too. OK, they can sing anything. Wait, someone call up Megan Hilty...again!


3. Cher—14%
She has an Oscar, an Emmy and a Grammy. It’s about time she goes for the T in her EGOT. Cher has announced plans to write and star in an autobiographical musical. Any updates, Cher? What if you just brought your one-woman West Side Story to Broadway in the meantime?
