“What if we released a trailer for the Mean Girls musical—but, and get this—there’s no singing.”
Regina George is back — and she just called us all ancient. The first trailer for Mean Girls: The Musical arrived on Nov. 8, giving fans their first look at the film adaptation of the Tony-nominated Broadway musical. Except going by the trailer, you wouldn’t know it was a musical.
The new Mean Girls film was cast with musical theater talent in mind, as Reneé Rapp played Regina in the Broadway show and Jaquel Spivey (who portrays Damian) is a Tony-nominated star himself.
And yet, one of the fans’ biggest takeaways from the new trailer is the lack, of, well, music.
The cast features a mostly new slate of stars to fill the shoes of iconic characters, including Rapp as Regina George, Angourie Rice as Cady Heron, Auli’i Cravalho as Janis Ian, Spivey as Damien Leigh, Jenna Fischer as Cady’s mom, and Busy Phillips as Regina’s “cool mom.
