"Whitney was America's sweetheart, and the idea now is to remind people that that is what her legacy is," commented Larry Mestel, Primary Wave's founder.
Other projects include a touring concert with a hologram of the singer who died in 2012 performing on stage, and a new album of unreleased tracks from her debut album in 1985, The touring hologram is already in the development stages, and will be backed up by her original band and touring back up singers - including her brother Gary.

This is one of the last things the world needs, but at least if it happens it couldn't be any worse than The Bodyguard.

It might not even be a bio musical. God, I hope not.

Some families are disillusioned, Whitney being America’s sweetheart. That ship sailed long ago, before hitting Bobby Brown and sinking quicker than the Titanic.
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

If the estate's behind it, I'm just gonna assume Whitney won't be singing "I Will Always Love You" to Robyn Crawford

The difficulty with an original story or even a biopic is that some of her most popular songs are tied to The Bodyguard, which is already a self-contained story that doesn't need extra songs. However, I would not be opposed to an original musical with some deep cuts.
Basically, give me "My Name is Not Susan."
