Good seats are still available. I just scored two seats in the second row center orchestra for the final performance on December 3rd. I'm looking forward to the show.

Yes, Kerry Butler! Been waiting for her to come back to Broadway (I missed Disaster). Was hoping she replaced Rachel Bay Jones in Dear Evan Hansen (thought I doubt she is leaving anytime soon), but this is even better.

Taylor Louderman, is the last person I would think of when I think Regina George...maybe Karen, but I honestly can't imagine the doe-eyed and sweet Taylor Louderman as the hypersexualized, Queen Bee B&*#$ that is Regina George.

She may surprise me, but I thought shed make a great Princess Anna in Frozen, and maybe have Ms Murin play Regina instead.

Or at least have Taylor and Kate Rockwell swap roles.

Well, she is an actress. They transform into whatever they need to be. Yep, this casting is VERY spot on....

Taylor Louderman bores me.

Ashley Park as Gretchen is INSPIRED. Barrett Wilburt Weed is perfect for Janis. I wonder if Ms. Norbury still plays all the parents as it was rumored she did in the readings, if so Kerry Butler really is perfect for that. Her as Mrs. George already has me laughing.

Ashley Park is quickly turning into one of my favorites so I'm officially excited for this. I guess the Eliza rumors were wrong.

I was hoping too for Ashely in MFL or even Carousel as Carrie. But, I'm so thrilled to see her again! Loved her since King and I

I'm excited about Ben Tyler Cook

But that doesn't matter, because we're all here. And with all of our differences we have one thing in common. We're all gay.

Ooh this is great casting! Taylor Louderman will make a fantastic Regina, I always love seeing actors do roles where they surprise people. I'm most excited for Ashley Park and Barrett though, both are very, very strong actresses with absolutely gorgeous voices. They will kill these roles!

Rippedman, To be fair, she was a super young Fantine. I think she was only 22 or 23 at the time.

I was just listening to Bring It On yesterday and I was think how great Kate Rockwell would be in this. So that's super cool.

This cast has also been billed as the D.C. Cast and not as the D.C. And Broadway cast, should we expect some recasting later before broadway?

Has "Mean Girls" officially announced a Broadway opening? Could be why.

And I think Louderman is perfect casting. To me she always comes off as kind of "steely."

Fantastic casting. I love Taylor Louderman and her casting reminds me of when Rachel McAdams was cast in the movie. Tina Fey said that McAdams secured the role because it takes someone who isn't a bitch to successfully play a bitch.

I really hope this does well. I want it to go down the Legally Blonde route and not the First Wives Club route. Time will tell.

Mean Girls is Heathers with less death and Bring It On is Heathers with more cheerleading.

All joking aside, this cast surprised me, but I can't pinpoint why. Ashley Park was hilarious in Sunday in the Park with George...and it'll be interesting to see what Barrett is up to after the replacement debacle in her last show.
