This adaptation of the smash Broadway hit Mean Girls follows Cady Heron as she moves from the African Savannah and tries to adjust to her new life in 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. Cady and her friends devise a "Revenge Party" to end Regina’s reign with Cady going undercover as an aspiring Plastic. When the lines between the real Cady and her Plastic self get blurred, she must find her way back to herself and her true friends.
Runtime is approximately 75 mins including Intermission.
Character Breakdown
Cady Heron - A new Junior at North Shore High School, Cady grew up in Africa and was homeschooled. She is warm, bright, and strong enough to take on The Plastics. Cady is levelheaded, self-assured, and kind, when she goes undercover with the Plastics, she becomes unrecognizable. Cady is the emotional heart of our story. Strong Singer and Actress.
Regina George - Regina is the Queen Bee of the Plastics. When she shines her light on you, you feel like the most important person in the world. When that light goes cold, you want to die. She’s confident, clever, and completely unbothered by anyone else’s opinion. She is regal, still, and “hot”, but at her most vulnerable moments, she is just a kid in over her head. Strong Singer, Actress, and Dancer.
Gretchen Wieners - One of the Plastics. Desperate to please Regina and to maintain her position in the Plastics, Gretchen is a nervous wreck. She is a “banker” meaning she befriends people to “bank” their secrets. She cares so much about everything that she is paranoid. Her fragility at times is heartbreaking. Strong Singer, Actress, and Dancer.
Karen Smith - One of the Plastics. Although her intellect and personality never had a chance to develop, Karen is essentially kind, relaxed, and a generous laugher. She is the most laid back of the Plastics. Strong Singer, Actress, and Dancer. Strong Comedic Actress.
Damian Hubbard - Outgoing and an active member of the student activities committee, Damian is a fiercely loyal friend to Janis and they have the close rapport of a comedy team. Damian is packed full of life and personality. Strong Singer, Actor, and Dancer. Strong Comedic Timing.
Janis Sarkisian - An “Art Freak” and social outcast, Janis is not afraid to be weird or make others uncomfortable. She paints herself as an objective observer, but, like so many of us, she longs to avenge the devastating events of high school. Janis marches to the beat of her own drum, unapologetically. Strong Singer and Actress.
Aaron - A cute boy with a good moral compass and a backbone. Aaron is the heartthrob of Northshore High. He’s not immune to all the female attention he gets, but he’s not going to let himself be a pawn in their chess game either. Strong Actor and Singer.
Kevin G. - Kevin is the extremely driven captain of the North Shore Mathletes. He is a confident student and a decent rapper. Kevin has a huge personality.
Ms. Norbury - Ms. Norbury is Cady’s world-weary Calculus teacher who pushes Cady to be her smartest self. She is a very quirky, odd individual; however, at her core she is all heart and soul. Though she is a bit jaded and more than a little sarcastic, Ms. Norbury sees the real Cady and encourages her to be true to herself. Strong Actress with good comedic timing.
Mrs. George - Mrs. George is Regina’s “cool mom.” She’s desperate to look young and feel like one of the teens. She’s also desperate for Regina not to repeat her mistakes. Strong Comedic Actress.
Mr. Duvall - The principal of North Shore High School. Mr. Duvall may have once taught computers at Joliet Penitentiary, but nothing prepared him for the harsh realities of out-of-control junior girls. He is merely trying to get by as being Principal, he’s clearly out of his wheelhouse. Strong Comedic Actor.
Shane Oman - The Quarterback Football Jock of Northshore High School. Shane is the boyfriend and pawn of Regina George. A couple of spoken lines but much discussed in the show's plot.
Martin - Vice President of the Northshore Mathletes. He is the second in command to Kevin G. Martin is a lover of all things rap and calculus.
Mr. and Mrs. George - Parents of Cady Heron. They are Wildlife Biologists from Africa who have recently moved to the Northshore High School district in America.
