Direct from Broadway, MEAN GIRLS is the hilarious hit musical from book writer TINA FEY ("30 Rock), composer JEFF RICHMOND ("Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"), lyricist NELL BENJAMIN (Legally Blonde) and director CASEY NICHOLAW (The Book of Mormon). The story of a naïve newbie who falls prey to a trio of lionized frenemies, MEAN GIRLS "delivers with immense energy, a wicked sense of humor and joyful inside-jokery." USA Today says, "We'll let you in on a little secret, because we're such good friends: GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!

Loved every minute of this show. The story line, choreography, music and orchestra were all wonderful. Thanks to the multi talented cast for a fun filled evening. So happy we travelled from out of town to attend. Made for a prefect winter getaway.
I have been to many Broadway on Tour live performances and this one was good but NOT the Best ever. The music seemed a bit too loud with some of the female singers sounding forced at high pitches.
This was a great performance. Lots of talent among the cast, very smooth scene transitions, and creativity of the set. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
My daughter and I had a great time! We loved the songs and dance numbers.
The venue is a great one where most seats are great views. The matinee that we saw was great energy. I highly recommend the show my kids and I are now addicted to the music. There was an unfortunate injury on stage while performing, and they had to stop the show but the venue and the cast and crew made the weight minimal to restart the show with a new actress in her place. I hope she’s OK.
Was a great musical. My daughter and I enjoyed it and it was really funny. The actor who played Gretchen got hurt on stage, sending her well wishes and hope she’s okay!
Had a nice evening out with my friend and her two daughter in laws. Enjoyed the show. Performances by all actors were very good.
The main issue was the very poor sound. It was impossible to hear the lyrics. It really spoiled everything. Sets are great. The cast worked hard and seemed to be giving it all. So unfortunate that I couldn't hear the lyrics
The sound system was poor and did not work well for the audience sitting on the far left and right sections of the floor. You know it’s bad when your whole seat section is not laughing at the punchlines because they could not hear the dialogue while the people in the centre of the floor were having a great time.
