Question for those who have seen both Mean Girls and Once on this Island: which one did you like better and why? I only have room for one and cannot decide!
I enjoyed both experiences about the same, but I would give OOTI a slighter edge simply because it was original material and the production itself was innovative and exciting.
Mean Girls is flashy mindless entertainment and a fairly decent representation of a far better work, ie the film.
Once on this Island is way better. It's a magical production with a ton of incredible talent. I didn't particularly like Mean Girls. It's a downgrade from the film and is a very mediocre musical in basically every aspect.
Once on this Island hands down. I really enjoyed Mean Girls and had a great time, but Once on this Island is truly special. The production is really unique and original and the one act show flies by.
Wildcard said: "Mean Girls on tour will appear much like the Broadway Production. Once on This Island can only be experienced in NY in its current iteration."
THIS. I can’t imagine what a tour of OOTI would look like, but there will uncountable modifications. Mean Girls will likely be a replica.
I agree with everyone - go see "Once On This Island".
"Mean Girls" won't lose anything when it tours even in the mostly too large touring venues. OOTI , on the other hand, is in a unique space and must be seen in NYC.
I love MEAN GIRLS far more than most on this board, but the clear choice is ONCE ON THIS ISLAND. MEAN GIRLS will be running for a long time, and touring. ONCE ON THIS ISLAND is an experiencethat cannot be be replicated.
