Meryl Streep Eyes Return to Broadway with Martin Short Collaboration

Renowned Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep has recently hinted at a potential return to Broadway, expressing enthusiasm for a project with her 'Only Murders in the Building' co-star, Martin Short. According to a report by People, Streep's comments were made during an appearance on SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live, where she reunited with her 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' co-stars Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. Reflecting on her formative years in the theater scene during the 1970s, Streep expressed a desire to revisit her Broadway roots.

In conversation with Short, Streep revealed she has already broached the topic with him, sharing, 'We were thinking that would be fun to do something together.' Despite their plans being in the nascent stages, audiences have lauded the duo's on-screen chemistry in the popular series, where Streep joined in 2023 as Loretta Durkin, a character intertwined with Short's Oliver Putnam. Their palpable rapport has quickly captured the hearts of viewers, lending further anticipation to their potential stage collaboration.

Short has been vocal about his admiration for Streep, often praising her humility and professionalism despite her impressive tally of 21 Academy Award nominations. He commends her ease of demeanor, describing her as 'so polite and fun and generous.' While rumors of an off-screen romance have circulated, both actors maintain that their relationship remains purely platonic. In related news, Streep dismissed longstanding speculation about an autobiography, humorously stating, 'Nope, too boring,' while expressing her fondness for reading memoirs by fellow artists, including Barbra Streisand, according to People.
