Charlie Burn as “Cady Heron” along with Elena Sky as “Janis” and Freddie Clements as “Damian” make a formidable trio, With incredible vocals and perfect comedic timing. Freddie was a stand-out performer with his slick vocals and charisma. He was a pleasure to watch cover the role of “Damian”.

“The Plastics” casting is perfect in every way, with Georgina Castle as “Regina”, Elèna Gyasi as “Gretchen”, and Grace Mount as “Karen”. The trio embodies “The Plastics” spectacularly with Georgina’s vocals that are powerful and slick in “Someone Gets Hurt” With her stunning costume and choreography, this number is sexy and well-polished. Along with Elèna as “Gretchen”, who is “fetch” as well as endearing with gorgeous vocals, and Grace as “Karen”, whose “sexy” was a highlight of the show.

“Mean Girls” the musical is a fun musical with a good message of inclusion and to “be a good person”. With fabulous costumes, killer songs, and infectious choreography, it’s a must-see.
