Mean Girls the Musical

I read often about how people think Mean Girls is one of those movies that would make a great musical, so I was wondering do you think it would work as a musical? Personally, I think it has the potential to be very cute, and I would LOVE to see Annaleigh Ashford as Karen.

I would LOVE to see this as a musical. I think Colleen Ballinger would be great as Gretchen! I could see Annaleigh Ashford or Annelise Von Der Pol as Karen :)

Just re watched the movie yesterday and I totally agree. I think Ana Gasteyer could for sure reprise her role onstage as Katys mother for sure! She has a great voice. Another random thought I had whilst watching the movie was, for the pre show curtain, it would be amazing to use the map of the school that Janis draws for Katy when she first starts there. The one that shows where all the groups sit at lunch. Just an idea :)

Laura Osnes for Cady?

I'm the meanest girl in history!

Sierra Boggess for a role! Not that I want her to be in the show, I just want to be the first person to suggest it.

I say Sierra Boggess should play every role. Yes, including the fat kid who farts and the wide-set vagina chick.

I always thought Teal Wicks would make a good Cady.

Anneliese Van Der Pol for Cady and Sutton Foster for Ms. Norbury

Meghann Fahy would be a great Cady.

As long as another girl doesn't break herself in the harnesses, sure.

Though my dream cast will always be:

Karen: Donna Murphy
Gretchen: Bernadette Peters
Regina: Patti LuPone

Isn't this just Glee?

Morgan James as Regina is brilliant.

I was thinking Jordan should play Regina?

Celia Keenan Bloger for the girl with a lot feelings! She could have the 11 o'clock number about making cakes with rainbows and smiles.

She doesn't even go here!

I love that, and even though I know people think Sutton Foster should play Ms.Norbury, I'm not sure she would have the right edge to her humor, but Ana Gasteyer would kill it!

I don't remember her exact quote, but Tina Fey was asked about this in an interview and she said she and her husband (a composer who writes all 30 Rock's music) have toyed around with the idea and written some things, but Paramount, not she, owns the rights and apparently are holding onto them. She said she thinks it would be fun to work on it.

And yet there was Mean Girls 2? Come on, Paramount

Cady: Cortney Wolfson or Teal Wicks
Karen: Annaleigh Ashford
Regina: Morgan James
Gretchen: Colleen Ballinger or Annelise Von Der Pol
Damian: George Salazar
Janis: Krysta Rodriguez


You picked 4 people whom I adore. Cortney, Teal, Annaleigh, and Krysta.

Didn't they do a musical for Heathers though? Which is basically like Mean Girls, but in a much darker tone.
