Mean Girls is getting the movie musical treatment!

The original hit movie, which starred Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried, Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert, Jonathan Bennett and more, debuted in theaters in 2004 and was later turned into a Broadway musical, which debuted in 2018.

Tina Fey wrote both the movie and the book for the Broadway musical, and now, she’s adapted it into a movie version of the musical, with music by her husband Jeff Richmond and lyrics by Nell Benjamin.

Arturo Perez Jr. and Samantha Jayne are directing, with choreography by Kyle Hanagami.

Here is the synopsis: “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, the movie musical, was originally set for Paramount+, but instead will premiere in theaters on January 12, 2024.
