Mean Girls the Musical History
The 2004 hit film starring Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams is still in the god tier of teen films 15 years later. The film remains just as popular as Queen Bee Regina George at North Shore High but needed some modern tweaks for the West End stage. This musical adaptation features the same characters and story we know and love, but with a modern twist as it has been updated to fit in with the trends of today.
Teens back in the early noughties were mean but, in this generation, smartphones, social media and teens go hand in hand. Meaning that this Mean Girls West End production is guaranteed to fit in with the social media era.
Mean Girls The Musical is based on Tina Fey's screenplay for the 2004 film of the same name, which, in turn, drew inspiration from Rosalind Wiseman's 2002 book, Queen Bees and Wannabes. The musical made its debut at the National Theatre in Washington, D.C., in October 2017 and later opened on Broadway at the August Wilson Theatre in April 2018. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Broadway production concluded on March 11, 2020.
A film adaptation of Mean Girls The Musical starring Reneé Rapp opened on 12 January 2024. Mean Girls in the West End is just as popular as Broadway, so make sure to book your Mean Girls The Musical tickets as soon as possible!
Why is Mean Girls worth seeing?
- Mean Girls was close to receiving an R rating due to its content. Can you guess why?
- Tina Fey named the character Glen Coco after a real person who was a friend of her brother, which probably caused quite the inconvenience for him.
- Daniel Franzese improvised the famous line, "I want my pink shirt back," which was well-received by Fey, so she decided to keep the film.
- For the musical, Fey had to extensively research modern ways in which girls can be mean to each other because the film was released in 2004…19 years ago.
- The 2023 version of Mean Girls retains the same plot but has been updated to reflect the current times, with most of your favourite lines from the original still included.
- The cafeteria cliques have been altered to fit the present-day context.
- The film incorporates humour related to social media, mobile apps, and the internet.
- Mean Girls The Musical in London is going to be fetchest show that the West End has seen in years.
