Rebel Wilson wants her own musical in London

Rebel Wilson wants to star in her own West End musical

The 35-year-old Australian comedic star has always wanted to tread the boards in the famous theatre district of the UK capital but she wants it to be in her own production.
Rebel - who began her career on the stage - is thinking of writing her own show but she fears it could take her many years to produce something of quality.
She said at the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards at One Mayfair in London: "I'd love to do the West End, but you want to originate a role to really make an impact. I mean if I just came in and did 'Wicked' or something, it wouldn't be that exciting. So, I'm always looking.
"I'd love to write an original musical but it can take a long time. 'Hamilton', that's on Broadway right now, took six years and it's a work of genius, so it would probably take me like 20 years! But I should get started because it would be awesome."

Rebel heard from her friend former LA roommate Matt Lucas, -who has performed in West End-, that "it's a great community", this partly fuelled her dreams of doing it one day.
