As BroadwayWorld reported last week, Mean Girls just announced the ladies who will lead the First National Tour as "The Plastics". The Mean Girls National Tour launches on September 21 in Buffalo, NY. Click here for the full tour route.
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 naïve 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.
