Wicked - the novel by Gregory Mcguire is being turned into an 8 hour mini series on ABC. How amazingly ozness is that for fans of the book and musical? Now we can't be sure it's going to be anything like the musical, as it will be based on the novel- but that's still pretty awesome- RIGHT?
Selma Hayek and Erik Jendersen (who wrote "Band Of Brothers") is writing the script for ABC.
This sounds like it could be one amazing hit- and I can't wait to see what happens with this- I KNOW I WILL BE TUNED IN- Let's hope they follow more of the book and don't change around some key parts like they had too for the stage musical- because this could really make or break the series of novels- because if this goes well there could be a mini series possible for every book! I know I would love that happening, and so here's to WICKED!
