"MEAN GIRLS" information
Senior High Musical (Grades 9-12)
About the Show
Mean Girls: High School Version is a Broadway hit that recently became available for high school licensing. It has a PG-13 rating so students participating in this show should be comfortable with some stronger language and some adult references. Read more about the show synopsis here.
Here is an excerpt from a note from writer Tina Fey:
Dear Theater Teachers and Students,
Thank you so much for choosing Mean Girls for your school! When I wrote the movie in 2003 (Were you even born?!), I set out to write truthfully and with humor about relational aggression among girls. I hoped that if we could recognize this behavior in ourselves, and laugh about it, it would be easier to stop doing it. Spoiler alert: I did not fix the world! Relational aggression is still around. And it’s not just among girls. We see it everywhere, from the highest branches of government to the preschool playground. But I still believe that this story can help us cope through humor, and also now through singing. I’ve been looking forward to high school productions of Mean Girls from the day we opened on Broadway. As a former drama club member, I knew that a show with five female leads would be great news for most schools. As a former youth theater director, I hoped that letting students play characters their own age, with a story they can relate to, would be fun and lead to some great conversations.
