“We haven’t finished it yet, but it’s close — yes, pretty close,” she said.
Fey will reportedly join forces with Tony-nominated Legally Blonde lyricist Nell Benjamin, as well as her own husband, composer Jeffrey Richmond.
Fey said that she can focus her full attention on Regina George and the rest of the plastics’ musical debut thanks to the pregnancy of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star Ellie Kemper.
“We’re working on the musical adaptation, and thanks to Ellie Kemper’s pregnancy, we have this whole summer to work on it,” Fey said
