New York, New York – Though Friends star Jennifer Aniston recently said she wants to take a break from filming to improve her work-life balance, she’s still got one big goal in mind: she wants to be on Broadway!
But the busy 56-year-old’s dream doesn’t seem to be quite so easy to realize just yet.
“That’s on my bucket list, but it’s finding the time and finding the right piece, the right material,” Aniston told People magazine recently.
But returning to her roots – she performed in several off-Broadway productions before shooting to TV stardom with Friends – is a dream she won’t give up on.
