Mean Girls at The National Theatre

Mean Girls

The National Theatre
1321 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington

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. Direct from Broadway, Mean Girls is the hilarious hit musical from an award-winning creative team, including book writer Tina Fey (30 Rock), composer Jeff Richmond (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), lyricist Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde), and director Casey Nicholaw (The Book of Mormon).

"...One of the greatest strengths of this production is the uniform excellence of the cast. Every one of them pulls their weight and then some. Eric Huffman as the prancing Damian Hubbard combines wit with wisdom as the narrator whom Janis calls “almost too gay to function.” Mary Kate Morrissey expertly navigates the complicated role of Janis, whose sexual identity has caused her to be rejected by the Plastics."

"...Welcome to High School! Get in, losers— we’re going to The Kennedy Center! Because their production of Mean Girls the musical, Directed and Choreographed by Casey Nicholaw is just so FETCH! And they are absolutely making FETCH happen!!! Based on the Paramount Pictures film from 2004 with book by Tina Fey, music by Jeff Richmond, and lyrics by Nell Benjamin, this high-octane, high-quality Broadway musical is a trip down memory lane for some and a totally relevant look at the uncivilized jungle that is American public high school."

"...Tina Fey's iconic 2004 movie, Mean Girls, has taken the stage, and you won't want to miss it. For three weeks at the Kennedy Center, you can witness the talented cast of the Mean Girls musical tell the story of homeschooled jungle freak, Cady Heron, who is trying to figure out high school while stuck between the infamous Plastics and non-clique-joiners, Janis and Damian. This show is filled with Fey's entertaining comedy, the struggles of fitting in, vibrant dance breaks, and what it means to be yourself without apologizing for it."
