Salma Hayek is developing an 8-hour long Wicked mini-series for ABC! OMG! I’m sooo excited! I’ve never EVER been excited about a mini-series, and I am now. Does this mean that I’m getting older, or have they  just finally tapped what I like–probably both. They want to make this mini-series more of a parallel story to The Wizard of Oz rather than a prequel. And, it’s going to be based on the novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, not the musical. This is all so exciting!!

Oh, and ABC…please cast Kristin Chenoweth even though it’s not based on the musical. Please?!

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    I agree, it wouldn’t be Wicked without Kristin.

    The book WICKED was way dark with heavy subject matter in my opinion and it would be so awesome if they really did base the mini series on the book rather then the light and super happy musical made for children.

    Could be very good, but I personally am not at all interested or enthused to actually watch. I read the book (with an open mind knowing it was very adult) long before I saw the musical and was less than impressed…in fact, I almost didn’t want to see the musical because I hated the book so much.

    I absolutely love the musical, but couldn’t finish the book. The donkey part did me in. You’re right, Cappy. It’s definitely darker so a lot of people will be very disappointed if they’re expecting a bunch of light hearted moments. I’ll still be interested in watching at least the first episode.
