Mean Girls

Jasmine Amy Rogers has been a friend of my boyfriend David's for years and years and years.

They did the Mean Girls tour together, and so she was able to do it because she's in a play right now, and she's feeling like she wants to sing and dance.

So she was available for it.

you know, and anywhere from Olivia Lux from Paul's Drag Race.

another feat of engineering about just moving the whole theatre up and piece by piece.

Let's move on to School Girls or the African Mean Girls play.

Never heard about this.

It's playing at the Samuel Friedman Theatre until November 15.

They have, say, four shows a year that run for three months each.

And it's the Manhattan Theatre Club.

This play is just a cast of six, is basically Mean Girls, the British or American Mean Girls, are set in Ghana.

And we've got four girls who have been going to school for a long time.

Apologies for deadnaming a building.

And that, in hindsight, was a foolish thing for me to have asserted because the model that we have seen time and time again recently, we saw it with Frozen, we saw it with Mrs. Doubtfire, from Beetlejuice, from Mean Girls, is for a show to run on Broadway, close on Broadway, downsize for a national tour, rework the material somewhat, Mean Girls did this, Doubtfire did this, Frozen certainly did this, and then open a slightly more definitive, improved production in the West End.

Not necessarily when it comes to set design, we actually got a set upgrade for Frozen, but something of a downgrade when it came to shows like Beetlejuice.

But often in terms of the show's direction and material, it has been honed somewhat in the years since it first arrived on Broadway.

In any case, I do think that this could be very popular with audiences.

It's hard to know which intellectual properties, books, films, are really getting people to the box office because I've been surprised on a couple of occasions recently.

I'm surprised that Mean Girls didn't sell... for longer and indeed that Beetlejuice never really took off at the Prince Edward meanwhile The Devil Wears Prada seemed to be much more successful I wasn't surprised that Doubtfire was as successful as it was nor Pretty Woman and the notebook as a film property comes from a similar early 2000s place to The Devil Wears Prada And obviously, it's a fairly predictable date night booking.

Is it one that families would go and see in the same way? Is it one that tourists would go and see in the same way? I think a certain number of London musical theatre fans who have become aware of the show via Joy Wood's recording of the song My Days, they will certainly be booking their tickets.

I was obsessed with her.

And then also, I think Karen Smith in the Mean Girls musical would Oh my

God,

please.

enemies just stop

okay well I did go to New York one time and on the first night we went to Broadway and we went to Mean Girls because like all right let's pick something that sounds familiar had a terrible time it was three hours long it was over three hours as my first day in New York and then I'm just in this very long play you know so it was just kind of sucked the energy right out of being in new york for me i think i would have probably gone to a different play had i i would i just i don't think i would recommend the play mean girls is is what i'm trying to say

okay i know i like shocked right now but i also i am not a theater person and i also don't have a theater background but i just feel like you're gonna upset some people with what you're saying

Well, I like the movie Mean Girls.

It was a great movie.

And I will go to, if I ever am in New York again, I will happily go to a Broadway show.

Wait, Seth, have you seen Mean Girls? I

have seen it,

Beetlejuice.

Mean Girls.

Heathers.

And what do all these have in common? Belt.
