Beyoncé 'Definitely' Wants to Do Broadway

Beyoncé Knowles has set her sights on the Great White Way. The Grammy-winning singer told Reuters while promoting her upcoming film, Obsessed, that performing on Broadway is “her ideal job.”

Knowles, who has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, is best known for her recording work both solo and with the group Destiny's Child, but she has also steadily been building an acting career. Her performance as Deena Jones, a Diana Ross-like character in the big-screen adaptation of the 1981 Broadway musical Dreamgirls, earned a Golden Globe nomination in 2006. She most recently played Etta James in Cadillac Records. Her other film work includes Austin Powers: Goldmember, The Fighting Temptations, The Pink Panther, Fade to Black and Carmen: A Hip Hopera. Her third solo album, I Am… Sasha Fierce was released in November 2008. Earlier this year, she memorably performed at the Neighborhood Inaugural Ball where the President and First Lady danced to her rendition of “At Last” and with Hugh Jackman at the Academy Awards ceremony. In Obsessed, she plays Sharon Charles, a wife who takes on her husband's stalker.

Knowles told Reuters she plans to settle down in a couple of years and start a family with her husband, Jay-Z. She said she plans to tour less and make her Broadway debut. “It's my ideal job," she explained. "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.”

The songstress emphasized that her live concert performances her world tour launches on April 26 in Zagreb, Croatia are “really theatrical” and added, "I definitely want to do Broadway."
