(Cinematologia USA)
Direct from Broadway, MEAN GIRLS is the hilarious hit musical from an award-winning creative team, including book writer TINA FEY (“30 Rock”), composer JEFF RICHMOND (“Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”), lyricist NELL BENJAMIN (Legally Blonde) and director CASEY NICHOLAW (The Book of Mormon).
Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. Soon, this naïve newbie falls prey to 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 2000’s classic being reproduced by Broadway, bringing the film’s story to the stage. Unforgettable moments for fans are specifically reproduced, such as: “Wednesdays We Wear Pink”, “October 3rd”, “The Granola Bar”, “Burn Book”, “Christmas Performance”, “Regina Being Run Over”, and handing out the wreath at the school dance.
The show faithfully follows the chronology of the film, but also Broadway with its originality brings us up to date through cell phones and social media, telling the story in the present day.
Cady Heron’s best friends Janis and Damian tell the story in the third person at times in the play, leading the audience to a good laugh. Cady Heron’s thoughts become real, changing the scene of the play in a matter of minutes, turning all her colleagues into animals that live in Africa, as shown in the film, GENIAL. And of course filled with lots of music and lots of dancing from beginning to end.
Containing performance even in tap dancing, which I particularly found sensational, in addition to loving the modality.
The artists take the audience inside the film, the performances are impeccable.
We feel that we are living the famous “MEAN GIRLS”.
In addition to being a unique comedy, making us laugh generously.
Broadway presented us with this wonderful and iconic production.
Choose your best pink look and run to honor MEAN GIRLS.
