Review: MEAN GIRLS Misses the Mark at the Denver Center
by Jon Bee - Mar 5, 2025

In today's pop culture canon, most folks of a certain age have some sort of connection with Mean Girls. The original movie and its all star cast have left an indelible mark on American, if not global, culture. On Wednesdays we wear pink. On October 3rd, we ask what day it is. There's a 30% chance it's already raining. These are just a small handful of memorable moments from a movie that influenced multiple generations. Its longevity still continues to prove itself. It's no wonder that it ultimately made its way to Broadway in musical form. It is also the latest production to take the stage at DCPA's Buell Theatre.
