Mariah Carey stopped by THE WATCH WHAT HAPPENS LIVE clubhouse on Sunday evening and was asked by a fan if she would consider turning her 2001 musical film GLITTER into a Broadway musical.

However, the official soundtrack from the movie sold over 3 million copies and enjoys a cult following to this day.
