Mean Girls At The City Center
SARATOGA SPRINGS — On Friday, May 19 at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, May 20 at 1 p.m., Home Made Theater’s Youth Conservatory will present Mean Girls Jr. at the Saratoga City Center.
Based on the 2004 film, this musical from book writer Tina Fey (30 Rock), lyricist Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde) and composer Jeff Richmond (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) is packed with keen wit, catchy score, and a sincere message for everyone.
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: suburban Illinois. How will this naive newbie rise to the top of the popularity pecking order? By taking on The Plastics, a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George, Cady and her friends devise a “Revenge Party” to end Regina’s rein with Cady going undercover as an aspiring Plastic. When the lines between the real Cady and her Plastic-self get blurred, she must find her way back to herself and her true friends.
