This has the potential to be incredible.

Interesting that there wasn't a single creative listed.

Yazbek is the most logical (and best) choice for this, right?
Or LaChiusa. He does well with pre-established story structures, and it would be great to hear him really let go and have fun.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time and I am INCREDIBLY skeptical of Chenoweth attached to this. If she's playing anyone, it should be Helen Sharp. I don't see her as a Madeline. Now, Sherie Rene Scott would be an incredible Madeline.

What happened to Cheno starring in Soapdish?

This would be a good fit for Yazbek, or the camp sensibilities of Shaiman and Wittman.

Thought the same thing. Will any Cheno project see the light of day?

Wasn't she also attached to the Betty Boop musical that seems to have been abandoned?

And the Chenoweth Hello Dolly and the Chenoweth Tammy Faye Musical.

Obviously, many actors become attached to projects that end up going nowhere.. just, usually, they don't broadcast it. But it seems like Chenoweth is more likely to be announced for them.

As they say on "Shark Tank":
It's a little too early for me at this point. You have an idea, but it's not a business. Because of that, I'm out.

Out of the ideas here, ^this makes most sense to me. I'd even angle for Laura Benanti, Annaleigh Ashford, or Lena Hall to go all ham with the role.
"Yazbek was my initial thought for the score, too. I also love the Shaiman/Wittman idea. Or maybe Lippa since he and the Cheno have a history."
She did just do Hairspray Live so she had a history with Shaiman/Wittman as well.
