Mean Girls Will Stop in San Francisco Along National Tour

Mean Girls, currently running at Broadway's August Wilson Theatre, will come to San Francisco in the summer of 2020, joining SHN's 2019-20 season as part of the musical's national tour.

Mean Girls opened on Broadway April 8 and earned 12 Tony nominations. The production features a book by nine-time Emmy Award winner Tina Fey based on her screenplay for the film, music by three-time Emmy Award winner Jeff Richmond, and lyrics by two-time Tony Award nominee Nell Benjamin. Tony Award winner Casey Nicholaw directs and choreographs.

Mean Girls is described as follows: "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. But when Cady devises a plan to end Regina's reign, she learns the hard way that you can't cross a Queen Bee without getting stung."
