J *ennifer Aniston *wants to turn hit TV sitcom Friends into a Broadway musical.

The 45-year-old actress is said to be in "deep talks" to help turn the show, which ran from 1994 until 2004, into a "billion dollar" musical, starring Glee powerhouse *Lea Michele *, and wants her friend *Sheryl Crow *to oversee the project.

"Jen has completely fallen in love with the idea of a Broadway-ready Friends musical," a source told RadarOnline.com.

"She's had some deep talks with her friend Sheryl Crow about creating 90s-style music for the project.

"Jen thinks the whole idea is hilarious and too fun to pass up, and she also jokingly refers to it as her 'billion dollar idea'."

Aniston previously poured cold water on rumours she and her former cast of *Courteney Cox *, *Lisa Kudrow *, *David Schwimmer *, *Matt LeBlanc *and *Matthew Perry * were thinking about starring in a Friends film.

"I can't imagine how you would do it," she admitted.

"It's not normal. Friends is in your living room; Friends is not in a movie theatre. It doesn't make sense to me."
