Mean Girls





A musical adaptation by Tiny Fey of her hit film comedy on female-on-female bullying, based in part on the book Queen Bees and Wannabes Rosalind Wiseman.


Story:

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: 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 devises a plan to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.
