Amanda went on to explain that there are some ideas that could work for their roles. “Maybe the mothers of our characters?” she said. “That’s what I was thinking, but listen, I have not even seen the script.”

Tina Fey will be reprising her role as Ms. Norbury for the Broadway version of the film on Paramount, and she reportedly has a seven-figure deal signed, while Rachel McAdamas was initially offered a larger part than the rest of the cast, described as just a “fraction” of the other three offers.
