Priyanka Chopra has her sights set on starring in a musical.
The 38-year-old actress is up for a new challenge and revealed she would love to have the chance to flex her vocal cords for a role in a musical, be it on the stage or the big screen.
“I just watched Les Miserables. I would love to get into an artistic, deep kind of musical,” Priyanka told Variety. “As much as I would love to do something like La La Land as well, I like delving deep into things that can challenge me and things that make me nervous. And that definitely does.”
“Plus, my husband’s been in (one) twice,” she quipped, referencing beau Nick Jonas, who had a career on Broadway as a child, and later returned to the stage in 2012 for the revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
The Baywatch star isn’t fussy about which musical she’s offered, as she insisted that she would give the role her all if given the chance.
“I believe I could play anything if given the opportunity,” Priyanka shared, noting that she would even play Elphaba in Wicked, despite her age. “I would just put my head down, work really hard at it and come up with the best version I could create.”
