This isn’t your mother’s Mean Girls. No sir. Forget what you know about the story of Cady Heron and her best frienemy Regina George, leader of the plastics and all-around Queen Bee-otch of North Shore High. Gone are the days of Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams duking it out for their place at the top of the food chain, as Mean Girls the Musical ushers a new generation of students into this hilarious story.
