To compare obects or ideas using "like" or "as" is called a simile.
To compare objects or ideas in a way in which a word or reference is applied to an object or action to which it is NOT LITERALLY APPLICABLE is called a metaphor.
She was clearly making a metaphor between the two parts and their intensity and and level of acclaim. Another would be 'its the olympic gold medal of musical theater'. Clearly I am not comparing Mama Rose to gymnastics or diving. I think the intent of the comment was more to say, after playing what is to be considered one of the most demanding and high caliber roles in musical theater, what do you do next. And in that intent using the role of Hamlet as a METAPHOR is quite accurate.

Good point Casper =D that is sort of the point that I was trying to make but was unable to word it. Although, I'm not sure it can be said that we can "clearly see this" as perhaps we are misinterpreting it altogether.
