Speaking to new! magazine, Katona said she believes there are many similarities between herself and Monroe.
"Her life was one of extremes, like mine," said Katona. "She grew up in foster homes, suffered personal problems, had a battle with drugs... so I'm perfect [for the role]."
Katona has recently hit the headlines for her financial struggles, a child custody battle with ex-husband Mark Croft and her upcoming wedding to George Kay.
When asked about trying for a fifth child, the 32-year-old explained: "Me and George have been having fun trying, but nothing's happened yet.
"George wants kids, and I've always said I'd love lots because I was an only child. I want someone to look after me when I'm old."
Norma Jeane the Musical opens on September 22 with an invite-only preview for industry guests.
