Now that we have your attention, Broadway fans, this just in: ABC has ordered a pilot script for the Desperate Housewives mastermind’s modern reimagining of Gaston Leroux’s gothic novel The Phantom of the Opera, one that will be set “in the sexy and cutthroat world of the modern-day music business.”
The potential series will not — we repeat not — be a musical, but the one-hour scripted drama will contain musical elements (a la the network’s country-music sudser Nashville), according to ABC reps.
The Phantom of the Opera pilot script will be written by Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner (Broadway’s First Date), with Cherry and partner Sabrina Wind serving as Executive Producers on the project.

ReplyDeleteNothing will ever beat Wishbone's rendition, lol.
ReplyDeleteHAHA. Loved that one.
ReplyDeleteIf this is picked up, I'm guessing it could be scheduled to Sundays at 9PM?
ReplyDeleteJust... WHAT?!
ReplyDeleteThis sound pretty good. If done right this could be an amazing show. I like Devious Maids and while I never really followed Desperate Housewives, I also enjoyed the episodes I did see. So if it's as good as those shows, I know I'll enjoy it.
