Mean Girls opened on Broadway in April 2018 to rave reviews at the August Wilson Theatre following its world premiere at the National Theatre in Washington, D.C. in the fall of 2017.

The musical features familiar characters like the new girl in school Cady Herron and The Plastics, a trio of popular girls led by the charming and ruthless Regina George. 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.

For those interested in listening to the soundtrack before attending the show, the Mean Girls original Broadway cast recording is now available as well.
