MEAN GIRLS THE MUSICAL

Book by Tina Fey

Music by Jeff Richmond

Lyrics by Nell Benjamin

​

Synopsis: 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 naive 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 Tina Fey's hit 2004 film, Mean Girls was nominated for a staggering 12 Tony Awards. This show took Broadway by storm and has since joined the musical in-crowd.

SEEKING

Gender: female identifying

​

Regina George: Regina is the Queen Bee of The Plastics. When she shines her light on you, you feel like the most important person in the world. When that light goes cold, you want to die. She is regal, still, and "hot", but at her most vulnerable moments, she is just a kid in over her head.

​

Gender: female identifying

​

Janis: An "Art Freak" and social outcast, Janis is not afraid to be weird or make others uncomfortable. She paints herself as an objective observer, but like so many of us, she longs to avenge the devastating events of eighth grade.

Damian: Outgoing and an active member of the student activities committee, Damian is a fiercely loyal friend to Janis and they have the close rapport of a comedy team.

​

Gretchen: One of the Plastics. Desperate to please Regina and to make to maintain her position in The Plastics, Gretchen is a nervous wreck.
