About Mean Girls the film and musical 

After fifteen years, Mean Girls has created a legacy unlike anything else. As popular as Regina George herself, the film is directed by Mark Waters and written by Tina Fey. The film stars Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert, Amanda Seyfried, Tim Meadows, Ana Gasteyer, and Amy Poehler. Notable members of the supporting cast include Lizzy Caplan, Jonathan Bennett, Daniel Franzese, and Neil Flynn.

The movie's screenplay was partially inspired by Rosalind Wiseman's 2002 book, Queen Bees and Wannabes, which explores the dynamics of female high school social cliques and bullying, along with some inspiration from Tina Fey’s own experiences at High School. Mean Girls earned an impressive $130.1 million in worldwide box office revenue. The film received critical acclaim, with praise for Mark Waters' direction, Tina Fey's witty screenplay, the iconic humorous moments, and the cast performances. Mean Girls was adapted into a successful Broadway musical that debuted in March 2018. It was announced in 2020 that a movie adaptation of the musical was in the works.
