Mariah Carey Mariah Carey We all know Mariah Carey is fond of a song or two.

So how appropriate is it for her life to be played out in a musical?

Well, apparently the singer has agreed to let her story be told on Broadway.

And the best part is, it seems that Mimi wants our very own Leona Lewis to play her.

That's if she doesn't decide to steal the limelight herself. 

"Mariah is not sure if she'll star in it herself. If she doesn't, names being tossed around include Vanessa Hudgens and Eva Longoria," a source told the Daily Mirror.

"But Mariah secretly likes the idea of Leona Lewis to play her. Not only is she exotic, she's the only one they reckon would beLeona Lewis Leona Lewis  able to tackle Mariah's eight-octave vocal range."

Ooh, we'd love to see Leona on Broadway, imagine.

Mimi's spokesperson has also confirmed that plans for the musical are going ahead.

"Mariah is in talks for a Broadway musical to be made about her life in 2009," they said.

What a year ahead for Mariah - an impending 40th birthday, and a biopic musical about her life.
