🖤💜 Meet Janis & Damian 💜🖤

North Shore High's reigning rulers of sarcasm, originality, and saying exactly what everyone's thinking.

Janis is the rebellious artist with a heart of gold...and a grudge. Damian is the hilarious hype man with a flair for drama and an endless supply of tea. Together, they're the ultimate dynamic duo guiding Cady through the chaos of high school while maybe stirring up a little chaos of their own.

💗 Meet Cady Heron 💗

After years of being homeschooled in Africa, Cady Heron is thrown into the wildest ecosystem she's ever encountered: American high school. Smart, kind, and completely unprepared for the social rules of North Shore High, Cady quickly learns that fitting in comes at a cost. As she navigates friendships, crushes, and the ruthless hierarchy of The Plastics, she'll discover that surviving high school may be harder than surviving the savanna.

Will she stay true to herself... or become the very thing she set out to destroy?

Mean Girls: The Musical, based on the hit movie by Tina Fey, is all about friendship, loyalty, girl power, and the importance of remaining true to oneself. The story unfolds at North Shore High School in Chicago, where new girl Cady Heron is eager to fit in and make friends. She soon befriends Janis and Damian, who help her navigate the complex social landscape of being a teenager in high school. Together, they hatch a plan for Cady to “infiltrate” the elite group known as the Plastics, led by their Queen Bee, Regina George, in order to bring an end to Regina’s reign. As a member of the Plastics, Cady gradually loses touch with who she really is, distancing herself from Janis, Damian, and even her crush. Cady’s story serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences that come with choosing popularity over loyalty and self-respect, and the importance of being true to oneself, no matter what.
