ORLANDO, Fla. – Who are The Plastics? They’re teen royalty, and they’ll be putting on a musical next week.
“Mean Girls” is a hit musical from an award-winning creative team, including book-writer Tina Fey, composer Jeff Richmond, lyricist Nell Benjamin, and original director and choreographer Casey Nicholaw.

Just like the hit movie, the musical is about Cady Heron, a teen who grew up in Africa, but now must find out where she fits in at her new high school in suburban Illinois.
She quickly learns the school has a number of cliques, with mostly everyone wanting to be in the popular crowd, “The Plastics.” Cady finds her way into the cool crowd, while devising a plan to take down the queen, Regina George. Through her rise to popularity, she quickly learns who she really is and what’s important to her.
The musical’s first Central Florida stop will be at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Orlando from March 28 to 30. On opening night, you will be able to participate in some special events.
In partnership with the Kind Campaign, Dr. Phillips Center is hosting an event in the lobby from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Guests will have the chance to share heartfelt messages with one another, spreading joy before and during the show. There will even be a “Mean Girls”-inspired drink to try.
The musical starts at 8 p.m., and then after the show, there will be a Q&A with the cast in the Walt Disney Theater from 10:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
If you’re not ready to end the night after that, you can cap off your evening at Judson’s Live.
Once the show wraps up in Orlando, it will make a stop at Daytona Beach’s Peabody Auditorium on March 31.
