City Springs Theatre Company presents Mean Girls

CRITIC'S PICK:
Fri., May 1 - Sun., May 17
Mean Girls, Byers Theatre - Those who were charmed by the 2004 movie with Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams will undoubtedly check out this musical adaptation, again written by Tina Fey, with lyrics by Nell Benjamin, and music by Fey's husband, Jeff Richmond. (Fey took her original inspiration from Rosalind Wiseman's 2002 book 'Queen Bees and Wannabes.') Reviewing the show when it opened on Broadway in 2018, Ben Brantley of 'The New York Times' wrote, "Fey's wit is both caustic and polite, stinging and soothing at once, though it's the sharpness that lingers afterward." Presented by the City Springs Theatre Company, the production's cast features Adagia Rueda as Cady, Landry Champlin as Regina, Ruth Mehari as Gretchen, Ella Benward as Karen, Terica Marie as Janis, and Cole Fletcher as Damian. - Kevin C.
