Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones expresses her desire for a return to the stage.
Catherine Zeta-Jones Hints at Potential Return to Musicals
British actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, known for her award-winning roles in musicals and films, has expressed an interest in returning to the stage for a musical production.
In an interview with Deutsche Presse-Agentur in London, Zeta- Jones shared her thoughts on the possibility of a stage comeback. Although she has not publicly committed to any specific upcoming musicals, her history and profile suggest potential opportunities could include high-profile Broadway revivals or major film musical adaptations in development.
Zeta-Jones won a Tony Award for her Broadway debut in the Stephen Sondheim musical A Little Night Music and is recognized for her musical talents, notably her Oscar-winning role as Velma Kelly in the film version of Chicago. The musical film, released in 2002, marked a significant moment in her career, and she considers it a highlight of her work.
Currently, Zeta-Jones is filming for the Netflix series Wednesday, where she plays Morticia Addams and sings in her role. The second season of the series, a spin-off of The Addams Family focused on student Wednesday Addams, directed by Tim Burton, has just started on Netflix.
Despite her busy filming schedule, Zeta- Jones had been offered three plays last year but couldn't accept due to commitments. A return to the stage is not ruled out for the actress.
Zeta-Jones, who was born in Wales and had her Hollywood breakthrough in the film The Mask of Zorro in 1998, has always held theater close to her heart. For her, theater is a source of true love. She believes that if musicals are good, they can be very good, and if they're bad, they can be terrible.
Theater was a part of Zeta-Jones's life from a young age, and her first experiences on the stage laid the foundation for her successful career. As of mid-2025, no official announcements have linked her to upcoming musical productions; however, industry speculation and fan interest suggest she could return in projects that align with her strengths and stage experience.
In summary, while Catherine Zeta-Jones remains open yet cautious about musicals, any forthcoming musical roles would likely be in prestigious or well-crafted projects given her award-winning background and the sophistication she seeks in roles. No confirmed upcoming musicals featuring her have been publicly revealed as of August 2025.
With her award-winning background in musicals and her passion for the theater, Catherine Zeta-Jones's potential return to the stage would likely involve high-profile productions, potentially including Broadway revivals or film musical adaptations. Her expertise in pop-culture, especially in the realm of entertainment and celebrities, make her an attractive choice for such projects.
