<h1>GET IN, LOSERS: MEAN GIRLS, THE MUSICAL STORMS THE DUNELLEN THEATRE THIS SEPTEMBER!</h1>
<h2>Pack your pink, grab your besties, and head to the Historic Dunellen Theatre as The Actors Studio of New Jersey presents Mean Girls, The Musical, Live on Stage!</h2>The Actors Studio of New Jersey will bring Mean Girls, The Musical to the historic Dunellen Theatre this fall, with performances running September 11 through September 20, 2026. Based on the beloved 2004 film written by Tina Fey, the musical brings the Plastics, North Shore High School, and all the razor-sharp comedy of the Mean Girls universe to the live stage for a limited two-weekend engagement.
Performances are scheduled for Friday, September 11 at 8:00 PM (Opening Night); Saturday, September 12 at 8:00 PM; Sunday, September 13 at 2:00 PM; Friday, September 18 at 8:00 PM; Saturday, September 19 at 8:00 PM; and Sunday, September 20 at 2:00 PM (Closing Night).

ABOUT MEAN GIRLS, THE MUSICAL With a book by Tina Fey and music and lyrics by Jeff Richmond and Nell Benjamin, Mean Girls, The Musical is a sharp, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt story about surviving the social jungle of high school. Based on Fey's iconic 2004 film — itself inspired by Rosalind Wiseman's book Queen Bees and Wannabes — the musical premiered at Washington, D.C.'s National Theatre in October 2017 before opening on Broadway in 2018, where it went on to win the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Book of a Musical.

Packed with chart-topping songs, razor-sharp humor, and a message about the power of authenticity, Mean Girls, The Musical is a celebration of what happens when you stop trying to fit in and start owning who you are.
CAST Leading the company is Savannah Fouchi as Cady Heron, Madi Barnes as Regina George, Natalie Pace as Gretchen Wieners, Kaileigh Fiorillo as Karen Smith, Brooke Nagel as Janis Sarkisian, Dylan Godbey as Damian Hubbard, Scott Silagy as Aaron Samuels, Xavier Rosado as Kevin Gnapoor, and Kiley Rose Burke Perez as Ms. Norbury and Douglas McLaughlin as Mr. Duvall.
Rounding out the company are Cassie Espinoza, Katelyn Loss, Makayla LaBode, Megan Schmiedhauser, James Henri, Tyler Benson, and Marquise Neal.
