Tina Fey Begged to Get an ‘Into The Woods’ Audition

Date:

Tina Fey tried to get an audition for Into The Woods and it didn’t go well.

Tina Fey recently revealed the details of her embarrassing Into The Woods audition while talking to her friend Damian Holbrook as part of the Tribeca Talks: Storytellers series at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival. Apparently, Tina Fey revealed that she dreamed of starring on a musical but, she wasn’t prepared for what happened next.

Fey explained:

I tried to talk my way into that movie. I did that thing you never do, where I’m like, ‘May I please audition?’ And it’s like, ‘They knew where you were sweetheart. They’d have found you if they wanted you to audition’ … That was in my weird year off between TV shows, when I realized when people say they’re gonna like stretch themselves? It just means they’re gonna annoy people. Rob Marshall did not need to hear me sing in his apartment.

While Tina Fey didn’t go into detail about the role she auditioned for, I’m going to predict she went out for The Witch or The Baker’s Wife, parts that were ultimately given to Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt. Obviously there’s no shame in being beaten to these roles by these formidably talented individuals, especially since Meryl Streep went on to claim yet another Oscar-nomination for her work in the fantasy musical.

Into The Woods did extremely well in the box office and was praised by critics. The movie scored a 71% on Rotten Tomatoes and earned $213 million at the box office. Maybe a Mean Girls musical is coming soon?
