Tina talks about Peter Pan and Broadway
THEATERMANIA: Tina, you’re seeing Peter PANtomime today? What is your favorite memory of Peter Pan?
TINA FEY: All of my favorite Peter Pan memories are actually memories of sharing it with Alice as she was growing up. She went through a serious, probably two and-a-half-year intensive Peter Pan phase, where it was all we read and all we talked about every single day. I was Wendy once for Halloween with Alice, and she was Peter Pan and her daddy [writer and musician Jeff Richmond] was Captain Hook.
TM: When are we going to see you on the Broadway stage?
Tina: Oh my goodness, I would love to do that someday! My husband is a composer and he’s had shows up in Chicago and here at Ars Nova when we first moved here. I still have aspirations to do a Mean Girls musical, but we can’t do anything until my TV series, 30 Rock ends.
TM: What would be your dream stage role?
Tina: Marlene in Caryl Churchill’s Top Girls. Definitely.
Means. Girls. Musical.
I would die, and buy tickets for every night.
