Musical

Book

Score

Leading Actress

Featured Actor

Featured Actress (maybe 2)

Choreography

Costumes

Thats eight nominations, maybe nine if they also goes with Rockwell. There's a chance for noms in Directing, Lighting and Orchestrations, right? 

And I don't see winning any, maybe Choreography.

[CurtainPullDowner]

I'd say 6 at the most if they are lucky,

Now this was a delicious read!

‘Mean Girls’ Musical Is Every Bit as Vapid and Tasteless as You’d Expect--by Rex Reed

[DaveyG]

Lol I have to say I do agree with Rex about the musical, but not the movie. Loved the movie.

[StylishCynic]

Could anyone PM me the audio to DC? I'd love to hear Apex Predator, and I doubt the cast recording will have cut songs on it.

[MrsSallyAdams]

Is Rex Reed really clutching those pearls, or is he just trying to impress us? The review was funny at first but turned so willfully obtuse I could not respect it.

[dougs9797]

Trying to recall the last time Rex Reed was relevant. Have to go back at least as far as the first Bush administration. #41

Shocking - the 79 year old didn't love MEAN GIRLS.

I saw this last night and honestly loved it. Some of the songs were eh but I liked most of them and thought the book was funny.

[QueenAlice]

Caught this last night and was also surprised how much I loved it. I haven’t seen the film so can’t compare but it’s definitely the most FUN I’ve had on Broadway this year. Sure the score is just serviceable, but Casey Nicolaw stages of within an inch of its life- much of the script is laugh out loud hilarious, and the cast is uniformly terrific.

If the producers are smart, they will lobby Taylor as supporting actress, which i think she could actually have a shot of winning.

Definitely way better than I was expecting.

Yes yes yes!! It took me off guard how much I loved it. The only song I didnt really like was Whose House Is This. It just went on and ON. I've actually had a couple melodies stuck in my head. Like the stupid in love chorus and "my name is regina george"

I saw the show earlier this week and I honestly really quite enjoyed it! The songs weren’t very memorable, like others have said, but I liked the choreography and busy production. The actors did a great job and almost all of them were nice enough to stagedoor after a matinee show. IMO it was a fun, enjoyable show and we had a good time!

I'm not sick of it. I don't come here as much as I used to precisely because a fascist sympathizer is the de facto curator.

The Tina Fey of it all is great. It’s the other stuff.... Like the music...

I'm not sure how to embed a tweet but Pennsylvania representative Brian Sims made a lovely reference to Mean Girls after Rep. Daryl Metcalfe tweeted that he was a "lying homosexual."

Finally saw the show this weekend. It was fun in the moment but doesn't hold up under scrutiny.  

Cady unseats Regina too easily in act one. Act two shifts focus to Cady's pursuit of the dull jock and her rejection of Janice. The other "mean" girls get nothing to do. I wasn't invested in Cady's arc so the second act just loped along to the finale. It's just not mean enough.
