‘Mean Girls’ Musical Set to Premiere October 31, 2017

The stage version of Mean Girls now has a premiere date: Oct. 31, 2017, according to Entertainment Weekly.

EW has also learned that the Mean Girls musical will make its debut at the National Theater in Washington, D.C.
Tina Fey, who wrote and directed the movie, is collaborating with the musical creative team along with her husband, composer Jeff Richmond. Nell Benjamin, who helped bring Legally Blonde to Broadway, is also working on the stage adaptation.

Saturday Night Live boss Lorne Michaels, who produced Mean Girls with Fey, will also produce the musical along with Stuart Thompson. Casey Nicholaw (The Book of Mormon) will direct the stage adaptation.
​
Last March, Fey previously stated that they are looking to find unknown actors to fill in the main roles. “I think we really want to find interesting people that no one has seen before,” she said. “Hopefully we’ll find a young person who, at this moment, is still in college but will be making her way to New York as we write. Still a fetus somewhere.”
