Mariah Carey is working to adapt her memoir The Meaning Of Mariah— which tore into her mother and siblings — into an eight-part television show with Lee Daniels.
The 52-year-old legend sat down with Z100’s Garrett Vogel to promote her latest Apple+ Christmas special. During the chat, the host asked Mariah if she would ever think about starring in a Broadway musical.
“It's so difficult now because of Covid and we don't know what's going on. First things first I wrote my memoir last year and now it's coming out in paperback,” she said.
Garrett pressed again, “Would you do a musical?”
Mariah said, “we did the book, And we are getting it together I'm working with my friend Lee Daniels. And we are talking about the adaptation of my book. I would rather do that that's why we wrote the book 1st. Broadway is a great thing, I just want to do something. And whatever it is I just wanted to be fun.”
The singer then dropped the bombshell, “Lee is probably going to hear this and kill me but it's probably going to be an eight-part series. I need to be gritty grimy and beautiful, spectacular, and real.”
The "gritty grimy" part won't be hard giv
