Kristin Chenoweth has signed on to star in and produce the ABC put pilot “The Real Fairy Godmother,” Variety has learned.

Chenoweth would star as a self-absorbed “real housewife” who learns that she’s descended from a secret order of Fairy Godmothers and has an inescapable destiny to use her magical abilities to help those in need. As she begrudgingly executes her assigned weekly missions, she slowly begins to realize just how superficial and morally bankrupt her actual life is and, to the confusion of her dysfunctional family and friends, tries to get them all to be better people.

Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner, who wrote all the songs for the “Once Upon a Time” musical episode, will write and co-executive produce. Craig Zadan and Neil Meron will executive produce through Zadan/Meron Productions. Zadan/Meron Productions’ head of development, Mark Nicholson, will serve as co-executive producer. Cathy Yuspa and Josh Goldsmith will serve as showrunners through Goldsmith Yuspa Productions.

I love Kristen Chenoweth. I love this premise. I loved the songs in the musical episode of "Once Upon a Time". I think I'd love this.
