Tina Fey is developing a Mean Girls musical.
The 30 Rock comedienne - who wrote and featured in the 2004 film starring Lindsay Lohan - is looking to bring the hit teen comedy to the stage with the help of her husband Jeff Richmond.
Quizzed about a possible Mean Girls
musical on the red carpet at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards in Los Angeles, she told E! News: "Maybe! We want to. I would love to. I'm trying to develop it with my husband, who does all the music for 30 Rock and I think Paramount's onboard."
While the musical is very much in the early stages, the 42-year-old star feels Triumphant singer Mariah Carey - who got into an argument with fellow American Idol judge Nicki Minaj about the movie on the show - would make a great candidate for the role of villain Regina George's ditzy, 'cool' mother in the stage show.
Tina, who "loved" the argument, said: "I think Mariah won. Like, Mariah seemed to really know all the characters. Maybe she can play Amy Poehler's part in the musical."
