Presented in conjunction with producers Lorne Michaels and Stuart Thompson, Mean Girls has a book by Tina Fey, music by Fey's husband and three-time Emmy winner Jeff Richmond, and lyrics by Tony nominee Nell Benjamin. Tony winner Casey Nicholaw will direct and choreograph.

Like the film, the new musical follows Cady Heron who moves to Illinois after years of living with her parents in Africa. At her new school, the naive newbie quickly attracts the attention of The Plastics, a trio of popular frenemies led by the vicious Regina George. As she devises a plan to end Regina’s reign with friends Janice and Damian, Cady learns “you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.”

The 2004 dark comedy, inspired by Rosalind Wiseman's book Queen Bees and Wannabes, was directed by Mark Waters and starred Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Lizzy Caplan, Lacey Chabert, Amanda Seyfried, and Fey (who also wrote the screenplay).

Casting for the D.C. engagement, additional creative team members, and other information will be announced at a later date.
