Based on Tina Fey's (of Saturday Night Live fame) wildly popular 2004 film, Mean Girls wisely embraces what made the original such a phenomenon while bringing enough energy and personality to succeed on stage.

The stage version, with intermission, stretches close to three hours, and the second act occasionally feels every bit of it. That's a challenge in today's attention-deficit world.
