Sara Bareilles to star in Tina Fey's Girls5Eva Peacock comedy

The Hollywood Reporter

The Grammy winner will play a member of a 1990s girl group in the Tina Fey-produced comedy created by Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt writer Meredith Scardino. "When their one hit gets sampled by a young rapper, they reunite to give their pop star dreams one more shot," per The Hollywood Reporter. "They may be grown women balancing spouses, kids, jobs, debt, aging parents and shoulder pain, but can't they also be Girls5eva? Bareilles will play Dawn, a member of the group who's not a bit restless in life managing her family's small Italian restaurant in Queens. She reluctantly gets the band back together and finds it might just be exactly what she needed."
