The plot revolves around Cady, a girl who grew up in African savanna with her zoologist parents, and now moves into suburban Illinois.
Although she knows the wild life, she is not prepared for the high school cliques and every day drama. In the first scene, Cady introduces her exciting life in Africa, dancing between predators and pray, and then quickly floes into another, more dangerous place, suburban high school. She was warned to avoid the most popular and charming but ruthless clique called “Plastics” led by Queen Bee Regina George.
Cady infiltrates into “Plastics” and plans to end Regina’s reign with her friends Janis and Damian. The show is full with rumors, gossip and secrets portrayed in a fun way. Mean Girls takes a look at friendship and human nature through a ferociously funny lens. Come and see the show and witness how a naïve girl rises to the top of the popularity pecking order. We’ll have to wait and see whether this new girl take the Queen Bee without getting stung.
