Cady Heron is the new girl at North Shore High School in Chicago, desperate to fit in and find friends.
When the school’s resident mean girls – “The Plastics” – set their sights on her, Cady joins in a plot to bring down the reign of their Queen Bee, Regina George. Along the way, Cady loses herself, her friends, and her crush, all for the chance to be popular and loved. Written by acclaimed comedian and author Tina Fey, based on her screenplay for the Paramount Pictures film, “Mean Girls: High School Version” features dynamic songs with music by Jeff Richmond (former music director for (“Saturday Night Live”) and lyrics by Nell Benjamin (co-author of “Legally Blonde”). This show is an anthem to friendship, loyalty, girl power, and being true to yourself.
