Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones expresses interest in returning to live theater performances.
In the world of entertainment, Catherine Zeta-Jones (55) has made a name for herself as a versatile actress, singer, and dancer. From her early theater days as a child to her breakthrough role in the film "The Mask of Zorro" (1998), Zeta-Jones has consistently proven her talent across various mediums.
However, as of mid-2025, there are no specific announcements or confirmed offers regarding Zeta-Jones' upcoming musical stage return. Recent news focuses primarily on her television and film projects, including her prominent role in the Disney+ original series National Treasure and her appearance in Wednesday Season 2. In this series, she showcased her singing and dancing skills, but not a musical theater stage production [1][3].
Zeta-Jones, who won a Tony Award for Best Actress for her performance in "A Little Night Music" on Broadway, has expressed interest in returning to the stage for a musical. Her love for theater is a matter of true love for her [2]. She had previously starred in the Broadway musical "A Little Night Music" and the jukebox musical comedy "Rock of Ages."
In "Wednesday," a spin-off of "The Addams Family" by Tim Burton, Zeta-Jones plays the character Morticia Addams. In this role, she sings frequently, showcasing her vocal talents within a TV series rather than traditional musical theater [3]. The second season of "Wednesday" has just started on Netflix.
Despite the lack of confirmed plans for a return to the stage, Zeta-Jones has not ruled out the possibility. She considers musicals like "Chicago," in which she starred and won an Oscar, as successful and fantastic experiences [4]. If she were to return to the stage, it would likely be widely publicized given her stature in the industry, but as of now, no such plans are publicly known.
