Amanda Seyfried Talks Conquering Stage Fright with The Way We Get By & the Role That Almost Made Her Throw Up

Amanda Seyfried may light up the big screen in films like Mean Girls, Mamma Mia! and Les Miserables, but as she’s told us in the past, that doesn’t make being on stage any easier. The film star, who is currently making her off-Broadway debut in Neil LaBute’s The Way We Get By, suffers from stage fright continuously. But when she stopped by Late Night to chat with Seth Meyers, she had a message for all the kids: “Children, don’t run away from your fears. Fight ‘em!” Despite the jitters, she’s enjoying her time on stage, but wishes audiences would stop talking (and eating pretzels) during the show. Take a look at the interview below, in which she also talks about her, erm, nauseating cameo in the upcoming film Pan, then catch The Way We Get By at Second Stage Theatre.
