GOSSIP: Could Leona Lewis star as Grizabella in Broadway revival of Cats?

According to the Daily Star, Leona Lewis is the "first choice" to star as Grizabella in the Broadway revival of Cats

Nicole Scherzinger recently withdrew from the show a week before rehearsals were set to begin. The Daily Star claims that Lewis, who won The  X Factor in 2006, is "first in line for the job if she wants it". Please remember this is just a rumour and nothing has been confirmed.

Directed by Trevor Nunn with some new choreography by Hamilton’s Andy Blankenbuehler, Cats will open on Broadway at the Neil Simon Theatre on 31st July 2016 (previews from 14th July). 

GOSSIP: Leona Lewis would consider West End role

Leona Lewis has revealed that she would consider taking on a West End role.

When asked by Gaby Roslin on BBC London 94.9 if she would consider starring in a stage musical, Lewis said, "Possibly, it's very demanding on your voice! It's a different kind of singing, like the projection they use... it's different."

The 2006 X Factor winner, whose fifth album I Am is released on 11th September, went on to say, "I feel like I could, probably not right now but at some point it would be cool to do a stint somewhere, for sure."
