The movie will stars other than Reneé Rapp, Angourie Rice as Cady, Jaquel Spivey as Damian, and Auli’i Cravalho as Janis. Mean Girls is based on Broadway, the Tony-nominated musical made into an iconic 2004 film. Rapp will repeat her role as Regina George in the movie. She performed as a character in a Broadway show, and Rice and Spivey will play the roles of Cady, Damian, Janis, and Cravalho.
The 2004 film Mean Girls and the Broadway musical Mean Girls recount the tale of Cady Heron, a high school student who relocates to the suburbs of Illinois after spending most of her youth in Africa with her zoologist parents. As an unsuspecting newcomer, Cady is quickly drawn into the herd mentality of high school kids and joins the popular group known as The Plastics, a group of three girls led by the cruel Regina. The movie, released in 2004, stars Lindsay Lohan as Cady and Rachel McAdams as Regina. It grossed $128 million worldwide.
