Beyonce refused to audition for role she wanted

OHMYGOSSIP — Beyonce doesn’t audition. The singer wanted to voice a character in Disney movie The Princess and the Frog — but she apparently refused to read for a role.

Jen Rudin — whose book Confessions of a Casting Director comes out in December — told New York Post gossip column Page Six about her dealings with Beyonce when she worked at Disney.

“Beyoncé expected an offer, but wouldn’t audition and so she didn’t get one,” she said.

“Tyra Banks, Jennifer Hudson wanted it. Alicia Keys auditioned three times . . . They had to sing, so we made it clear they needed sheet music.

“Tyra came in with a CD, but it didn’t matter because she was so pretty and nice. It went to Anika Noni Rose, who was the most qualified.

“[And] you want to work with nice people.”
