Mean Girls

At Cape Playhouse
—

Mean Girls is the rare gem of a story that has delighted audiences for the last twenty years – from Tina Fey’s breakout film in 2004 that brought Regina George and the Plastics to life, to the beloved Broadway smash hit this show is a wonderfully-relatable examination of stereotypes and roles and the ability to influence culture. There is something for everyone in this production, from the popular to the outcast and everyone in between. This show is sure to bring you back to high-school and have you rooting for the new girl. Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home in the American suburbs. With her singular wit, both loving and acerbic, Fey conjures a classic underdog story with characters that are now part of our cultural fabric – and the musical version brings that dynamic energy crashing onto the Playhouse stage. Directed and choreographed by Playhouse favorite Al Blackstone (Anastasia, An American in Paris), Mean Girls will bring grandparents, parents, teens and tweens together in a timeless experience to which all can relate and leave you laughing with joy. The Telegraph says, Mean Girls is “a rare combination of warmth, goofiness, snarky wit and perceptiveness.” and Medium declares, “Nothing about this musical disappoints. Quite simply, it is a triumph.”

Aug 18, 2026·The Cape Cod Chronicle

The production turns the familiar story into a fast-paced, energetic and entertaining musical that had the audience swept up in the frenzy from the very beginning. The actors did an incredible job bringing the chaos, humor and emotion of high school to the stage. The ensemble created a constant sense of movement and excitement, making the audience feel as though we were right there in the hallways, classrooms and cafeteria alongside them.

An exuberant and energized “Mean Girls” opened last Wednesday at the Cape Playhouse in Dennis. It’s back to high school for this musical, based on the 2004 movie of the same name. Not every successful movie translates into a successful musical. This one does. The songs are catchy, and rather than being awkwardly stuck in, they move the plot along and help develop both the plot and the characters.
