The hit 2004 movie Mean Girls is getting a musical update!

Based on the original movie and the Broadway musical adaptation, this new version gives a fresh, updated take on the story that is more with the current times than the early 2000s like it’s predecessor.

Tina Fey, who wrote both the movie and the book for the Broadway musical, has updated the script from both, and has adapted it into a new movie version of the musical, with music by her husband Jeff Richmond and lyrics by Nell Benjamin.

Here’s the synopsis: New student Cady Heron is welcomed into the top of the social food chain by the elite group of popular girls called “The Plastics,” ruled by the conniving queen bee Regina George and her minions Gretchen and Karen. However, when Cady makes the major misstep of falling for Regina’s ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels, she finds herself prey in Regina’s crosshairs. As Cady sets to take down the group’s apex predator with the help of her outcast friends Janis and Damian, she must learn how to stay true to herself while navigating the most cutthroat jungle of all: high school.

Mean Girls, the movie musical, was originally set for Paramount+, but instead will premiere in theaters on January 12, 2024.

Mean Girls remains one of the most iconic teen movies, and that’s partly down to its perfect cast. Can you even imagine what it would have been like if the lineup of talent had been different?

Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfied and Lacey Chabert grounded the cast as the members of The Plastics – teen royalty of North Shore High School.

They were joined in the movie by other talented young actors such as Jonathan Bennett, Daniel Franzese and Lizzy Caplan alongside comedy legends Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

In 2023, the cast is forever associated with the characters that they played in the movie. However, Mean Girls almost looked very different.

For starters, the three of The Plastics auditioned for other parts in the movie before they were finally cast. Several other actresses were also in the running for parts, and an A-list actor up to play Jonathan‘s character Aaron Samuels.

There was also a rumor linking a Marvel superstar to the movie, that we finally got an answer to years later.

After most of the cast got back together to film a commercial for Walmart, we did some digging to see what the cast might have looked like.
