Review: 'Mean Girls'

Overall:  I enjoyed this musical and thought it had many funny parts throughout; most of which mirrored the movie.  I wish it had a little more plot from the movie, but it was still good and I would recommend it.  It was a  little  long, at almost 2.5 hours, but musicals tend to be about that length so it isn't out of the ordinary.  I will say I was NOT bored at any point. Story:  This musical left out a lot of good parts from the movie and replaced them with numerous songs.  I think missing some of those parts made the show a little less entertaining; as many of the missing parts were funny. Character Development:  The main character, Cady, clearly changed throughout the show.  However, because parts of the plot were replaced with songs, her development wasn't as easy to see in the musical as it was in the play. Theme:  It's about girls being mean to each other in high-school; but done in a humorous way....
