A note from Tina Fey, librettist of Mean Girls:
When I wrote the movie in 2003 (Were you even born?!), I set out to write truthfully and with humor about relational aggression among girls. I hoped that if we could recognize this behavior in ourselves, and laugh about it, it would be easier to stop doing it. Spoiler alert: I did not fix the world! Relational aggression is still around. And it's not just among girls. We see it everywhere, from the highest branches of government to the preschool playground.
I've been looking forward to the high school version of Mean Girls from the day we opened on Broadway. As a former drama club member, I know that a show with five female leads would be great news for most schools ... Creating the High School Version of the show, we felt it was important to help schools perform the version of Mean Girls that suits their community. So instead of a pre-edited script (as with a School Edition), they will receive an unedited Broadway version, accompanied by these approved changes, which addresses moments in the original show that teachers have identified as potentially challenging for some schools.
Be good to each other and have fun. I truly can't wait to see what you all do!
A note from school leadership: We are happy that the Theatre Arts Department chose Mean Girls as the fall production. We hope that producing this show will help our ongoing efforts to provide a safe and healthier school climate.
More details about show dates to come later!
Synopsis
Consider this your invitation from Regina George herself to attend the fiercely hilarious musical from book writer Tina Fey (30 Rock), lyricist Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde) and composer Jeff Richmond (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt).
Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. How will this naïve newbie rise to the top of the popularity pecking order? By taking on The Plastics, a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady and her friends devise a "Revenge Party" to end Regina's reign, she learns the hard way that you can't cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.
Adapted from Fey's hit 2004 film, Mean Girls was nominated for a staggering 12 Tony Awards. This queen-bee took Broadway by storm and has joined the musical in-crowd.
Rated: PG13
