While I am a fan of the current Mean Girls Cast, I think it would be far better with the following in each role:

Cady- Tess Soltau

Regina- Kelly Felthous

Janis- Krysta Rodriguez OR Elizabeth Gillies

Damian- Alex Newell OR George Salazar

Gretchen- Phillipa Soo

Karen- Alli Mauzey 

Adult Woman- Jackie Burns

Aaron Samuels- Matt Shingledecker

Kevin Gnapoor- Vishaal Reddy

Dude, Mean Girls hasn't even been on Broadway for 4 months; thinking about different people at this moment in time is a little ridiculous. While I welcome some of your choices, it isn't the right time to talk about recasting Mean Girls!

Also, Phillipa Soo as Gretchen? Really? Like she would ever take that role in a million years! She reads older than Ashley Park in every situation...

If that was the cast everyone would be way too old.

Re-cast. Casted is never a word. (Pet peeve, sorry.)
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

OP, I think you’re looking for Tumblr, not BWW.

there’s literally one year age gap between the two so it’s not really a huge deal

I wasn't referring to age, gypsy; Phillipa just looks way too old to play Gretchen (see: Hamilton/having to play Eliza from age 19 to age 47)

I would be hoping the replacements would be a little more age appropriate.

And people say the level of discourse on these boards has fallen!

My name is neither "adam" nor "greer."

Ten or eleven responses and all of them negative, each one piling on.

This is a harmless little thread, not your cup of tea, that's fine, skip it. Find some bigger fish to fry.

OP, don't worry about them.

This whole thread is a grammatical disaster. Not only that, but this definitely belongs in the Tumblr fandom with the other UwU 12-16 year olds and not here among us. OP, please learn social rules of BWW before posting (which took me 4 months to master but solely from this thread will take slot longer for you to).

Only one I can see is Salazar as Damien. He'd be different, but good. maybe when he's done with BMC

You might not want to insult someone's grammar when yours isn't great, either. It's "bear," not "bare."
