What day is it? Itās October 3rd. That means it's officially Mean Girls Day!
Paramount is celebrating the annual holiday by turning its social media platforms pink, uploading the entire movie to TikTok in 23 parts, and announcing the date that the new Mean Girls musical film will be released in theaters!
Originally planned for a release on Paramount+, the Mean Girls musical movie will now get a theatrical release on January 12, 2024.
Based on the Tony-nominated musical by Jeff Richmond, Nell Benjamin, and the filmās original writer Tina Fey, the new Mean Girls musical movie is being directed by Arturo Perez Jr. and Samantha Jayne.
The new musical sees Fey reprising her role as teacher Ms. Norbury and Tim Meadows returning as Principal Duvall. Other than that, itās an all new cast. Angourie Rice (Honor Society) is starring as Cady Heron, an iconic role originated by Lindsay Lohan in the film. She stars alongside several queer actors.
Cadyās best friend Janis Sarkisian will be played by bisexual actor Auliāi Cravalho (Moana, Crush), and her other new friend, the ātoo gay to functionā Damian will be played by Tony-nominated queer actor Jaquel Spivey (A Strange Loop).
The Queen of Mean, Regina George, is also being played by a queer actor, ReneƩ Rapp (Sex Lives of College Girls), who is reprising the role that she had on Broadway.

The musical expands on the lesbian energy between Janis and Regina (who used to be best friends before Regina spread the rumor that sheās a lesbian), and with two talented queer actresses in the roles, we canāt wait to see what kind of fiery chemistry they have!
Mean Girls will also feature Bebe Wood, Avantika Vandanapu, Christopher Briney, Jenna Fischer, Busy Philipps, and Jon Hamm.
We canāt wait for January!
