Mean Girls, based on the original screenplay by Tina Fey, opened in April 2018 and has been a massive success, selling out in most cities. It's been 15 years since the original movie hit the screen, and fans have been excited to see the same characters and quotable lines played out in live theater.

The show also includes new songs, jokes, characters and hilarious strokes of conversation.
Tina Fey is quoted by Philidelphia's ABC6 saying,
"It's more than the movie. If you like the movie, it goes beyond - new moments and jokes you don't know."
The performance has also been updated with the times - as the characters back then were using flip phones and the ever-popular fourway calling. But don't worry, as I'm sure most women and young girls can attest for, it doesn't matter what age you are - there's always those Mean Girls!
