Mariah Carey Coming To Broadway?

382px-Mariah_Carey_2_by_David_Shankbone.jpg

British papers have announced that songbird Mariah Carey is in talks to present her life story as a Broadway musical, and though Mariah herself says this is the first she's heard of it, let's pretend it's true and try to imagine some of the production numbers that should pepper this swinging tale of fame and misfortune.

"Love Takes Time"--as the young Mariah tries to pleasure various older music-biz gentleman with flaccid body parts, hoping for her first big break.

"Vision of Love"--performed when she finally meets Tommy Mottola and hallucinates a psychedelic montage of Billboard charts with her screeching records atop them.

"Hero"--sung longingly to herself as she dazzlingly achieves her goal against all odds. By the way, no dogs will be allowed near the theater, as the high notes would surely pierce their skulls.

"Breakdown"--sung while furiously throwing dishes as Mariah reads the reviews and box office grosses of her labor of love, Glitter.

"Butterfly"--belted as she rises from the ashes, with a whole new sense of self and all new implants.

Wait, maybe this isn't such a good idea?

This is less likelier to happen than Britney Spears getting board approval at 740 Park Avenue.

Ahhh...."Glitter" comes to the stage! BRILLIANT!! But it begs the question: if the show closes mid-performance, can you get your money back?!

Genius. I'm thinking involved but upbeat dance numbers involving the ice cart on TRL (all dancers will be wearing microshorts) as well as full-throated orchestrations of the "accident" involving broken plates that put Madame Butterfly in the nuthouse.

It was not a nuthouse!!!

Maybe they'll finally make Glitter on Ice. (I'm still holding out hope for Showgirls on Ice.)

(Wipes mouthful of coffee off monitor.)

And then Big Tommy Mottola rises majestically from beneath the stage on a motorized spotlit pedestal, Little Tommy in one hand and a Big Contract in the other.

God she's awful. Not one of her cds or songs is worth owning. Crappy material, passionless vocals. Why are you even giving her exposure? You have crappy taste, but you know that, don't you. But your taste has gone downhill since you sobered up.
