In 2024, a new era of cinematic charm is about to grace screens worldwide as the beloved Mean Girls musical gets ready to make its triumphant return to theaters on January 12. Penned by the brilliant Tina Fey and helmed by directors Arturo Perez Jr. and Samantha Jayne, this forthcoming musical reboot promises an exciting twist with an entirely new ensemble taking on the iconic roles.
2024’s rendition of Mean Girls stars Angourie Rice as Cady Heron, Reneé Rapp as Regina George, Auliʻi Cravalho as Janis, Jaquel Spivey as Damian, Bebe Wood as Gretchen Wieners, Avantika Vandanapu as Karen, Christopher Briney as Aaron Samuels, and Busy Philipps as Mrs. George. In a delightful nod to nostalgia, Tina Fey and Tim Meadows will reprise their roles as Ms. Norbury and Principal Duvall.
Marking two decades since the original Mean Girls debuted in 2004, this new iteration seeks to captivate a fresh generation while staying true to the timeless battle between Cady and the Plastics. With its promise of revamped musical numbers and a resounding LGBTQ presence, it’s a production that the queer community eagerly anticipates.
