Mean Girls: High School Version​

 

Auditions are open to anyone ages 13-18 only

 

+Mean Girls: High School Version has a rating of PG-13+

​​

Mean Girls is a fearless musical about chasing popularity and being true to yourself. The Plastics have deemed us worthy of their presence! This "Fetch"  musical from book writer Tina Fey (30 Rock), lyricist Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde) and composer Jeff Richmond (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) is packed with keen wit, an undeniably catchy score, and a sincere message for everyone. Adapted from Fey's 2004 blockbuster film and the Broadway smash hit.


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 in suburbia. 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 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.
