The Block invites you to back-to-school when students present the smart and ferociously funny musical Mean Girls JR.  Adapted for students from the hit movie written by Tina Fey and starring Lindsay Lohan, Mean Girls JR. tells the story of student Cady Heron who must learn to navigate the treacherous social hierarchy of high school when her family moves to suburban Illinois from Kenya. Please note, this has been adapted for younger audiences.  Great music, beautiful lessons and inspiration, with less shock value.

“Mean Girls JR. is a hilarious and ‘totally fetch’ show with some very important lessons about friendship, authenticity, and accountability. Throughout the musical, we watch characters journey from changing parts of themselves in order to belong, to living as the unique and brave shining stars that they are,” says Drew Cohen, President and CEO of Music Theatre International. “We hope you’ll support these terrific students and their wonderful production,” he adds.

Mean Girls JR. is a version of the hit musical Mean Girls that has been adapted for performance by students.
