Propelled by dazzling set design and several stand-out performances, the musical – written by Fey, with music by Jeff Richmond, and directed by Casey Nicholaw ( The Book of Mormon) – gives fans everything they want while bringing the saga of Regina George and the Plastics into the social media age.

Tina Fey’s updated screenplay is filled with smart humour, such as when Gretchen Wieners (Bebe Wood) repeatedly misdiagnosis situations that are misogynistic as empowering — like the Halloween party where Cady is lambasted for her costume not being “slutty” enough. George wonders why her daughter refuses to confide in her; reminiscing about the old days when Regina was a child. The next day, Aaron discusses his previous relationship with Regina, how she made him feel like he was not himself, and that he has sworn off of dating.

Cady, Damian, Janis, Gretchen, Karen, Aaron, and Regina join together, finally accepting each other ("I See Stars"). Cady and her parents have moved to a Chicago suburb from Kenya, Africa but Cady soon realizes that her high school classmates do not readily accept others who differ from them. In particular, Mean Girls shines when showcasing the way internalized misogyny causes something as insignificant as the pining for the affection of Aaron Samuels ( Christopher Briney), the cute boy whose best qualities are his tendency to get math equations wrong or obsessively part his hair like a Pavlovian response, causes friction and eventual war between Regina George ( Reneé Rapp) and Cady. Her jet black hair and dark makeup gave her a gothic aesthetic that matched her snarky and tough personality. In AP Calculus, Cady meets the dreamy Aaron Samuels and immediately falls for him ("Stupid with Love").Every one of the principals gets a musical moment that tells us who they are, both the protective outer shell developed to survive the savage jungle of high school, and the tender human core, yearning to connect. But it, by itself, is not enough to make you into a cat, you'll need the included set of spotted ears, of course!

After a little sing-song over this new beginning, the reserved and lovably naïve Cady arrives in America — as do similar gags from the original, such as the bus almost running her over and montages of Cady and her lumberjack flannel not fitting into her new surroundings. When Aaron shows up, they sneak off to her bedroom, where Cady tells him the "funny" story about how she pretended that she was dumb to make him like her. The New York Times 's reviewer Ben Brantley wrote "The trouble lies in the less assured translation of Ms. Remember, as a cat you get not one, not two, but NINE lives—that's a lot of Halloween party to enjoy.
