'Mean Girls' Trailer Slammed for Not Revealing It's a Musical & Using Olivia Rodrigo Song Instead - Read Reactions
Fans who have been looking forward to the Mean Girls movie musical are not happy with the trailer released by Paramount Pictures.
The 2024 remake of Mean Girls is based on the recent Broadway musical and features the music that fans fell in love with from the stage show… but you wouldn’t know that from the trailer.
While the teaser trailer did have Renee Rapp singing Regina George’s famous intro line, the official trailer features no music from the musical and instead features Olivia Rodrigo‘s “Get Him Back.”
The trailer even teases that the remake is a “new twist from Tina Fey,” except they don’t reveal that the twist is the movie is a musical.
So, what are fans saying?

I love that you can barely even tell it’s a musical from this trailer. It’s like they’re hiding it 😂 https://t.co/zLZAjbIC3M

Hiding the fact that this is a musical is a choice!!! Because why the fuck else would we watch another Mean Girls? https://t.co/8NIohFyaUo

Having a very "sweet summer child" reaction to everyone asking why a trailer for a movie musical would hide that it's a musical.

Why are they pretending this isn’t the movie adaptation of the Mean Girls musical? pic.twitter.com/t5zkkpurpQ

The fact that the trailer for the movie of MEAN GIRLS: THE MUSICAL doesn't feature any songs from said musical — or any indication that they're really singing at all — is just 🥴 https://t.co/3GdQ8Rbd1o
