I don’t know whether this seems a bit daft but it has been reported that Mariah Carey would like British X factor winner Leona Lewis to star as her in a musical about herself! Mariah has agreed to have a show about her life be on a New York Broadway show, and is apparently keen on Leona to play her. A source said “Mariah’s not sure if she’ll star in it herself. If she doesn’t, names being tossed around include Vanessa Hudgens and Eva Longoria. But Mariah secretly likes the idea of Leona Lewis playing her… Not only is she exotic, she’s the only one who they reckon would be able to tackle Mariah’s eight-octave vocal range.” The idea for a show about Mariah’s life has been going around for months, but it seems that Mariah has finally agreed for it to go ahead. The production team are hoping the show will be ready by the end of the New Year.
