The film-based musical was directed and choreographed by the Tony-wining former San Diegan Casey Nicholaw

It worked for Tina Fey nearly 20 years ago when she wrote the screenplay for the teen comedy “Mean Girls” based on Rosalind Wiseman’s how-to for parents “Queen Bees and Wannabes.” And it worked again when Fey wrote the book for the “Mean Girls” stage musical. Jeff Richmond and Nell Benjamin provided music and lyrics respectively for the show, which opened on Broadway in 2018.

“People like the show because it has the spirit of the movie,” said Nicholaw, “but we made it theatrical. They also get to hear some of their favorite characters sing.” “It has Tina Fey as a book writer, that tells you something,” he said. “I knew that with her writing it, it would be fast-paced and have lots of laughs in it.”
