Is Jennifer Lopez heading to Broadway? Heres what we know
A starring role for Jennifer Lopez on Broadway may come sooner than we think. In an interview alongside her co-star, Tonatiuh, to discussing their new movie, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Spectrum News' NY1 asked J-Lo about the possibility of her taking on a starring role on Broadway. Surprisingly, she isn't completely opposed to it."There's been a lot of talk about that since I did this movie," Lopez said, while referencing that one of the film's producers Tom Kirdahy, a Tony Award-winning Broadway producer and spouse of the late Terrence McNally, who wrote the book for the 1993 stage production that the movie is based on. In fact, the actress and pop star has received two calls from Sergio Trujillo, the choreographer of the Kiss of the Spider Woman film, who has seemingly brought up two ideas so far. See on Instagram "Listen, I believe that everything will happen when it's supposed to, I am completely open to it, I think it would be a dream for me to do," Lopez said in the interview. "It would just have to be the right thing at the right time." When the interviewer pointed out that "we are due for a revival of Spider Woman," the multihyphenate agreed.The two main stars of the film were the cover stars for Out's latest issue. In their interview, Lopez and Tonatiuh discussed their experiences working on this film together. Tonatiuh, who uses he/they pronouns, said that Lopez gave him some words of encouragement that filled him with gratitude during one of the filming dates on set. "I remember sitting there with him I was in my blonde wig and smoking my cigarette, and he was sitting there kind of playing with his cigarette. And I said, This is your Selena moment Its a blessing in your career. And its just beautiful to watch you doing it,'" Lopez said. The actor recalled being so "overcome with gratitude" that after the film's director, Bill Condon (who also directed Chicago and Dreamgirls), called cut, Tonatiuh was instantly moved to tears.
