( EW.com ) -- When we heard the rumors around a `` Mean Girls '' musical , we immediately started casting the parts . But one thing we did n't account for was the idea that Amanda Seyfried might not want to reprise her role as Karen . That is so fetch : Tina Fey wants Mariah Carey for 'Mean Girls ' musical . After all , what about Karen would make Seyfried not want to play her ? She 's pretty . She does n't have to think , like , ever . She gets to wear pink on Wednesdays . She has ESPN , and her boobs can predict the weather . Or rather , her boobs can tell you about the current weather conditions . So why would Seyfried want to walk away from the character who first put her on our radar ? The temptation of the dark side , perhaps ? Amanda Seyfried eyeballing Seth MacFarlane 's comedy Western . Seyfried tells Allure , `` I desperately want to be Regina . '' So our question for you is : Would this work ? Could Seyfried 's big doe eyes contain the ferocity necessary to be queen bee ? More importantly , could Seyfried convincingly play the girl who ca n't be killed ( even when hit by a bus ) ? Although Seyfried 's career has definitely sky rocketed since her days as Karen , we 're not so sure we could handle a switch up within the plastics squad . What are your thoughts ? Who would you cast as Regina George in a `` Mean Girls '' musical ? See the original story on EW.com .
