Mean Girls Musical Slated for Fall 2017 Premiere

“That is so fetch!”

A Mean Girls sequel isn’t happening any time soon (Sorry, Lindsay!); however, a musical based on the 2004 teen comedy is going to make its debut later this year, according to THR.

Tina Fey, who wrote and appeared in the film, has written a screenplay for a Mean Girls musical with composer Jeff Richmond, who is also her husband, and lyricist Nell Benjamin, who is not her husband. Richmond is composing the score and Benjamin is writing the lyrics.

The musical, which is being directed by Tony-winner Casey Nicholaw and produced by Saturday Night Live‘s Lorne Michaels, will have its world premiere on October 3 at the National Theatre in Washington.

“No casting has been announced for the musical, which will have a develoopment workshop in the spring,” THR reports. “While Broadway plans have not been set, the pedigree of the creative team indicates the strong likelihood of a jump to New York if the D.C. run proves a success.”

Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) is a 15-year-old girl who has spent most of her life in Africa, where she was home-schooled by her zoologist parents. When her family relocates to the United States, Cady finds herself attending a high school in suburban Illinois, where she gets a crash course in the various sub-strata of the student body: the jocks, the cheerleaders, the stoners, the “cool” kids, and so on. Much to her surprise, Cady finds herself embraced by a clique of rich and popular girls known to outsiders as “the Plastics,” led by Regina George (Rachel McAdams), Gretchen Weiners (Lacey Chabert), and Karen Smith (Amanda Seyfried). While Cady is grateful for her new friends, it doesn’t take long for her to realize how manipulative they can be, and she soon discovers she’s violated an unwritten law when she goes out on a date with Aaron (Jonathan Bennett), who is charming, good looking…and Regina’s former boyfriend. It isn’t long before Regina and her pals are on the warpath, and Cady must face a level of vengeful behavior for which years in the jungle never prepared her.
