On Wednesdays, we wear pink. But even more importantly: We see Mean Girls on Broadway!
Mean Girls at Detroit’s Fisher Theatre: Show Details
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: Suburban Illinois. How will this naive 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.
Following its 2017 world premiere in Washington, DC, Mean Girls opened on Broadway in April 2018 to rave reviews. The show features a book by nine-time Emmy Award® winner, Tina Fey, based on her screenplay for the film, music by three-time Emmy Award® winner, Jeff Richmond, and lyrics by two-time Tony Award® nominee, Nell Benjamin. Tony Award® winner Casey Nicholaw directs and choreographs.
New York Magazine calls Mean Girls “HILARIOUS! A smart, splashy new musical that delivers with immense energy, a wicked sense of humor and joyful inside-jokery.” Chicago Tribune said “Tina Fey writes FUNNIER, SMARTER, SHARPER satire than anyone else in the business.” People Magazine calls the show “FRESH, FUN AND INFECTIOUS – Jeff Richmond and Nell Benjamin’s songs keep the laughs coming!” The New York Daily News said Mean Girls “TICKLES THE EARS, EYES AND FUNNY BONE – the direction by Casey Nicholaw packs style, invention and red bull-force energy.” And, Entertainment Weekly calls it “A MARVEL: DAZZLING & HILARIOUS!”
