We’ve reacted to news of other Broadway adaptations of beloved Hollywood movies with glee in the past, and this is no exception. Taking place over an entire school year and featuring all the up-and-down drama you’d expect from a story about teenage girls, Mean Girls has Les Misérables–worthy sagas to explore the trick is just translating it to a stage where people have paid $100 for tickets and expect an intermission for a chance to duck to the bathroom.
On Watch What Happens Live last night Fey told Andy Cohen that she and composer husband Jeff Richmond are currently at work on the musical, and while the plot is still in the works, it’s “pretty close” to the story of the 2004 cult classic.Īnswering a speed round of questions from Cohen, who’s clearly as invested in the idea as we are, Fey said that they’re still hammering out most of the details, but that the songs would be more traditional Broadway than Bring It On’s pop-inspired ballads, and that they’re not even sure where the act breaks-or the “11 o’clock number” that Cohen asked about-will be. Yo yo yo All you sucka MCs aint got nothin on me On my grades, on my lines you cant touch Kevin G Im a mathlete. To hear Tina Fey tell it, we might not have to wait much longer, though. Likewise, Fatboy Slim's remix of Pierre Henry's 'Psyche Rock,' All Too Much's 'Sorry (Don't Ask Me),' and Rajiv Surendra's 'Mathlete Rap' (the movie's talent-show-stopping performance) add some XY chromosomes to the mix, but Mean Girls is at its best when its music matches its title. In a world where Bring It On and Legally Blonde both became successful musicals, and after 30 Rock’s many loony, inspired musical moments, it’s honestly a surprise that Mean Girls hasn’t yet been adapted for Broadway.
