Directed by Casey Nicholaw, Mean Girls features a book by Tina Fey (30 Rock, Bossypants), music by Jeff Richmond (30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), and lyrics by Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde).

Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. Soon, this naïve newbie falls prey to 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.

It was announced on Jan. 7, 2021 that Mean Girls would not re-open a result of the continued industry-wide shut down due the pandemic. The show played its last performance March 11, 2020.

Running Time: 2 hours and 30 minutes, including one 15-minute intermission
book: Tina Fey
music: Jeff Richmond
lyrics: Nell Benjamin
