Mean Girls at Edison Theatre at Washington University in St. Louis

Welcome to North Shore High, where popularity is a battlefield and fitting in comes at a cost. Based on Tina Fey’s hit film, Mean Girls follows Cady Heron, who, after spending most of her life being homeschooled in the African savanna, is thrust into the wild world of American high school. To her surprise, Cady is quickly drawn into the orbit of the school’s most powerful and terrifying clique: The Plastics. But when a harmless plan to undermine queen bee Regina George spirals out of control, Cady finds herself becoming the very thing she set out to destroy. Mean Girls is a sharp musical comedy about fitting in, standing out, and the occasional realization that the villain in your story isn’t always someone else.
