Tina Fey and husband Jeff Richmond attend the opening night of "Mean Girls" on Broadway at August Wilson Theatre on April 8, 2018, in New York City “Kind of like the way a lot of people love sports but can’t actually play the sport they’re a fan of - that’s always been me with musical theater.” Fey eventually became a 2018 Tony nominee for her Broadway musical, Mean Girls. “That was a mistake but I tried,” she joked to Voguein 2018. She’s a musical theater nerdīefore going on to study drama at the University of Virginia, the self-described musical theater nerd was a member of her high school’s choir, played the role of Frenchy in their production of Grease, and sang in several Summer Stage productions She memorized cast albums including everything from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Annie to The Baker’s Wife while growing up, and eventually played the role of Sally Bowles in UVA’s Cabaret production. “I remember I got busted because I was trying to say that something would ‘go down in the annals of history,’ but it was a double-entendre with ‘anal’ and I didn’t get away with it,” she recalled.
Fey explained to The New Yorker in 2003 that the column was about school policy and teachers. Long before she became Saturday Night Live’s head writer, the Upper Darby High School honor student served as an editor of her school paper, The Acorn, and also wrote a column under the pseudonym “ the Colonel” (an acorn pun). “And then when I went to Chicago, and I got to be an improviser and do Second City, that was the best blending of the two, because I was creating my own material and then performing it.” She wrote for her high school newspaper But by the time I was in high school and college, I discovered that I liked writing and that I was probably a little better at it,” she explained to The A.V.
“I think everyone's intentions are to become a performer at first.
