 The Mean Girls musical is coming together!

The stage adaptation of the cult classic has finally found its director and a recent casting notice hints at what kind of songs we can expect the Plastics to be belting out.

 Broadway veteran Casey Nicholaw has been tapped to direct the musical.

Nicholaw has directed three of the biggest musical comedies to hit Broadway in the past decade—Spamalot, Something Rotten! and The Book of Mormon, which he co-directed with Trey Parker and won him a Tony for Best Direction.

 In a new casting notice posted online it is revealed that Mean Girls is gearing up for a developmental lab in New York from April 3-29 of next year.

There is a breakdown of all the main characters in the show and what type of singers the creative team is seeking. For example, Regina George should be someone who can sing “Broadway rock with an exceptional range.”

Are you excited yet?

The Mean Girls musical will have its world premiere Fall 2017 in Washington, D.C.
