The Means Girls musical is doing a Hairspray and The Producers, as in the feature film that was turned into a Broadway musical, is being turned into a movie musical. However, you wouldn’t know it from the trailer they released today.
And that makes me wonder why? I have my theories, and none of them are positive.
New student Cady Heron (Angourie Rice) is welcomed into the top of the social food chain by the elite group of popular girls called “The Plastics,” ruled by the conniving queen bee Regina George (Reneé Rapp) and her minions Gretchen (Bebe Wood) and Karen (Avantika). However, when Cady makes the major misstep of falling for Regina’s ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels (Christopher Briney), she finds herself prey in Regina’s crosshairs. As Cady sets to take down the group’s apex predator with the help of her outcast friends Janis (Auli’i Cravalho) and Damian (Jaquel Spivey), she must learn how to stay true to herself while navigating the most cutthroat jungle of all: high school.
Mean Girls: Tne Musical (?) will be released exclusively to theaters on January 12th.
Oh, here is something positive about the trailer. Jon Hamm is teaching sex ed. So I will dream about that tonight.
