About this episode

A performance and Q&A from the Broadway cast of Mean Girls, the Musical!

Panelists include: Erika Henningsen (Cady), Reneé Rapp (Regina), Krystina Alabado (Gretchen), Kate Rockwell (Karen), Grey Henson (Damian), and Kyle Selig (Aaron).

About the show:

Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. How will this naïve newbie rise to the top of the popularity pecking order? By taking on The Plastics, a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady devises a plan to end Regina's reign, she learns the hard way that you can't cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.

MEAN GIRLS is a ferociously funny musical from an award-winning creative team, including director Casey Nicholaw (Aladdin, The Book of Mormon), composer Jeff Richmond ("30 Rock," "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"), lyricist Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde), and book writer Tina Fey ("30 Rock," Bossypants). Vogue cheers, "MEAN GIRLS is HILARIOUS! The cast is sensational – expert comedians with fierce voices and acting chops to match."
