Tina Fey has confirmed the Broadway adaptation of Mean Girls will open in April 2018, adapting the 2004 film she wrote and further starred in; the revelation came from Fey in a video posted to the show's official Twiter account.
She collaborated with her composer husband, Jeff Richmond, to create a full batch of classic, Broadway-style numbers; that's as opposed to the poppier songs featured in other musical adaptations of teen hits like Bring It On: The Musical.
Back in May, Fey revealed to Jimmy Fallon how impressed she was by the cast, saying: "These kids are so talented, we have the cast now and have been rehearsing for a month. They're like a bunch of baby Timberlakes, these kids can do everything."
Saturday Night Live's Lorne Michaels (and close collaborator with Fey) is producing the show, while Aladdin and The Book of Mormon's Casey Nicholaw is directing.
Mean Girls will play at the August Wilson Theatre, with previews beginning 12 March, 2018 and an opening night of 8 April, 2018.
