Joshua Turchin is the Broadway Kids Jam Music Director, arranged the three songs for the jam, and provided the accompaniment. Hudson Loverro, currently starring as "Young C" in A Bronx Tale was the drummer. "I have so much fun jamming with Broadway Kids Jam and loved using my drumming skills along with Joshua's piano skills to accompany the girls in a really fun version of some of our favorite Mean Girls songs."

The songs included in the jam are: "Apex Predator", "I'd Rather Be Me", and "Revenge Party". The Broadway show of Mean Girls is currently playing at the August Wilson Theater, a Jujamcyn Theater and opened on April 8, 2018. The show features the book by Tina Fey, music by Jeff Richmond, and lyrics by Nell Benjamin. The production is based on the film by Paramount Pictures. The Broadway production is directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw and musical directed by Mary-Mitchell Campbell. The cast includes Erika Henningsen as Cady Heron, Taylor Louderman as Regina George, Ashley Park as Gretchen Weiners, Kate Rockwell as Karen Smith, Kerry Butler as Ms. Heron/Ms. Norbury/Mrs. George, Grey Hensen as Damian Hubbard, Cheech Manohar as Kevin Gnapoor, Kyle Selig as Aaron Samuels, Barrett Wilbert Weed as Janis Sarkisian, and Rick Younger as Mr. Duvall.

Broadway Kids Jam's youngest member, 8 year old Shaina Turchin attributes her newfound confidence in performing to the show Mean Girls. "I feel that this jam is my favorite and most important one yet. Since my brother Joshua is a professional actor and started BKJ, I always watched from afar. Once the Mean Girls' cast album was released, I was immediately inspired. I feel that this jam might inspire someone else to find his or her voice, just like I found mine."

Broadway Kids Jam features kids from various Broadway shows, Broadway national tours, movies, TV shows, animated series and commercials who love to jam and make music.
