The story about Ashley Park dropping the burn book into the pit and the conductor handing it back to her was gold. “Regina, you have such a nice Butler!” Love it when actors know how to improv whenever something goes wrong!! (:
lmao I hadn't heard about the butler one, but that's just one example of ashley improv-ing something like that. one time erika's normal wig came off during the revenge party quick-change, and they had to lower the curtain to fix it. When they started again and ashley entered again, she added, "I love your hair!" before her normal lines. Another time the halloween costume didn't come off, and ashley entered and said, "Cady! ...It's halloween still..."
@@QualitativeVacuum There was also one time during Revenge party when Erika did not notice she was accidentally half naked, so Grey and Barrett gave her Janice's jacket. Then Ashley came and said : "Hi, nice jacket".
“Reginaaa,you have such a nice butler” She’s so talented. It’s pretty hard to come up with something that makes some sense when you’re on stage under that much pressure.
I saw Ashley as Gretchen and boy she was incredible. I've only ever seen her as Gretchen, and she did such a wonderful job bringing out Gretchen's insecurity and anxiety and god I just really love the character and what Ashley did with her. Also as soon as I saw her start singing I was like "DAmmmmmmmmmnnnnn" She went into Regina mode so fast.
Yeah, that’s the thing about professional actors and actresses... they gotta be good. If they can’t get into character quickly, they’d be out even faster lol
Okay I enjoy Tee as much as the next person she’s absolutely phenomenal as Janis HOWEVER, I feel as though Barrett has much more of an edge to her voice than Tee and I feel like Tee is more suited for Cady because she has a very Disney Princess vibe to her voice which fits Cady a lot more than it does Janis
Yeah, Tee wasn’t supposed to be a Janis standby, but they added it to her contract after that one time she had to fill for BWW with four hours notice lmao
Tee is GREAT at everything she stands by for, but not necessarily a perfect fit for any of the roles, which I think shows how HARD it is to understudy/swing/standby. You gotta be ready to do a bunch of stuff at the drop of a hat. Truly brave and wild!
I agree with this, but I do have to say that Tee choosing to rap/say those words is her trying to adapt to BWW and honestly, it is a pretty unique spin on the song. Tho hehe i still like the edge in BWW'S version of the song like you said
what did gretchen say in place of "and her natural color isn't blonde... it's dark blonde" as Ashley doesn't wear a blonde wig for the show?? Hahaha just curious
I have recordings of Zurin and devon as Gretchen Zurin and jonalyn as Karen Tee as cady and janis Jonalyn and Becca as Regina If anyone has recordings of the understudies I would love to trade with you. And if you just want a recording, hit me up.
ashley brings a different vibe to regina but i rlly like it! her vocal range is very impressive and she pulled off the song beautifully! tee as cady was good but i prefer erika, tee acted more like movie cady in my opinion. tee as janis is very different from barrett’s but i prefer barretts. tees janis is very wholesome instead of “bad ass”. tee and ashley r very talented!
I saw Mean Girls a few days ago and Ashley was playing Regina. She was phenomenal live. It was so amazing to see her and Barrett in the performance! If you see it live, I hope you get to see her as Regina!
They always put the most talented people as swings and understudies. These ladies are so talented and make me have so much respect for those that are in this profession.
Wow such talent! And amazing job for understudies to be as good the first cast, while having to learn more parts and not getting to play them that often either! #understudiesrule!
They also change the line during "Apex Predator," when one of the ensemble members steps forward to talk about Regina being the prettiest girl in school and says, "I'm like, 'okay, white people.'" When there's a Regina of colour, the girl says "I'm like, 'yeah, white people, welcome to the future.'"
i like tee as cady because she really embodies that looser vibe at the beginning of the show, but still is really elegant and confident like cady later is. however, i don’t love her as janis. her vocals are great, but her acting is very over the top (not always a bad thing) but janis is a more nuanced role. but, regardless, i love tee so much and the rest of the understudies and swings
Thea Rilow yeah I think maybe cause the movie I just identify her as more of a Regina. And she’s nailed the whiney singing voice that still sounds good but has that edge that says I’m a manipulative person 😂
I did stupid with love for my grade 8 musical theatre exam and as with all songs I do for an exam, hated it afterwards and vowed to not sing it again, however this has changed my mind, it’s such fun to perform and Cady is an amazing character, wonderfully portrayed here!
RequiemTonight it was part of Broadway Under the Stars, free concerts of music from hit Broadway shows by the Broadway casts. It’s once a year, it’s at The Shops at Columbus Circle
wait i literally thought that was Erika singing stupid with love, Tee sounds and looks so much like her!! i was just like “hm Erika looks a little different here, it might just be a weird camera” BUT IT WAS A DIFFERENT PERSON WHAT SHE LOOKS AND SOUNDS SO MUCH LIKE ERIKA
Yeah the role of cady fits her perfectly Janis doesn't rlly fit her I saw gianna yanelli as Janis she didn't have the same vocal range as barrett but during apex predator she slayed those high notes and the character fits her personality
I think that Tee (the blonde I’m pretty sure that’s her name) personalizes the songs a LOT which isn’t necessarily bad but it messed them up a bit for me. If she had her own original role I’d like her a lot more
If everyone did the characters the same it’d be boring. Actors always use their own interpretations of the parts which doesn’t necessarily mean better or worse. It’s just down to the viewers preferences I guess. I love Tee and think it’s crazy how she can play all different roles equally well! Xx
*cady:* she didn't really fit the character. I think it's like, the charming innocence? anyways, killer vocals though. she'd be great for a comedic, fun-loving side character! *regina*: step on me and I'd thank you. god is she awesome. I love it when ppl turn completely different while performing! she suits regina quite well. i prefer og regina though. *janis:* oof, really am not feeling this one. just proves how much I love barrett more. she doesn't give out that vibe of a brilliant rebel misfit, ya know? sad how the characters she played here don't suit her much.
Screw off!!!! No one asked for you to so negative. Don’t compare them to the originals, obviously they aren’t as good but they are still AMAZING! They are all standbys or understudies and 100x better than you. BUE
Grady Wyatt uhm I literally intentionally tried to pick the least offensive words ever, because I wanted to state my opinion? constructive criticism, ya know? hell do I know they're better than I'll ever be, did you read all of it? I apologise if I seemed the least bit aggressive here, but I assure you that that wasn't my intention at all.
they're also swings, fun fact. they're basically understudies for multiple characters, which productions use for lack of people or if the cast is very much active and doesn't really need individual backups. had the urge to spit out a bunch of facts, sorry.
Tee definitely suits Cady much more then she suits Janis, she brings indivuality to both roles. Ashley's performance was great but felt like it was missing a bit of the Regina presence, however that could just be because that song is normally done with such great staging and choreography and interaction with Aaron so I'd love to see her do it full out.
I think Tee did a great Janis. She portrayed movie Janis so well! Barrett has her own rendition, and she strains her voice too much anyway. Great job all y’all!
Ashley is so talented that impressive but now ( i know it’s bad ) the only broadway’s Regina I can imagine is Taylor , she’s so perfect it’s hard to be after her
Tee as Cady: Um I like Erika better but I feel like Tee managed to show more of a Lindsay Lohan Cady then Erika does... Tee as Janis: Sorry but I Love Barrett as Janis way more.... But Tee is a little more like Movie Janis Ashley as Regina: I say Taylor does better but I definetly wouldn't mind Ashley as Regina either
When I went there was 2 understudies Devon hadsell as gretchen (she sounded amazing just like Ashley park she fit the role so amazing also this was before Ashley park left she just didn't come) and gianna yanelli as Janis I think gianna sounds amazing but barrett has a very different vocal range from her
It was at an event in New York City, and it was the original cast of 'Mean Girls' (the women preforming are understudies/swings for some of the lead roles)

It’s funny that she could fill the Regina role because Gretchen would be able to (in context) fill in for Regina
Yeah, that’s the thing about professional actors and actresses... they gotta be good. If they can’t get into character quickly, they’d be out even faster lol

Janis sounds great but her voice is clearly damaged and she has to push her limits for I’d rather be me, which wouldn’t be difficult for her otherwise
When I went to Mean Girls I got to see Ashley as Regina and Tee as Gretchen. They were both awesome! Great job ladies!
what did gretchen say in place of "and her natural color isn't blonde... it's dark blonde" as Ashley doesn't wear a blonde wig for the show?? Hahaha just curious

"We make out there" OMG SO ICONIC.
6:30 it's like shes used to high notes! You can't see any struggle at all.
IKR LIKE HOOOWWW AND THE CROWD GOES CRAZY AND SHE STAYS IN CHARACTER UGH AMAZING
She literally cracked. Like of all the moments of her singing you pick the one where she cracks as good
@@alrarmpithair it's meant to that's a part of singing. I should know
Katherine Kempher no she didn’t?????
It was nearly perfect
love the presence of a poc regina!!
Ashley is so amazing as Regina!! she really snapped with this. And Tee is so incredible!
tee sounds like bad ass anna from frozen when she sings id rather be me and im not mad.
I like how Ashley try not to copy Taylor's style.
"We make out here."😂
In all seriousness though, both of them are incredible singers, and I think they embody the characters really well!
WOW I GOT THE CHILLS WITH ASHLEY AS REGINA!
I saw Mean Girls a few days ago and Ashley was playing Regina. She was phenomenal live. It was so amazing to see her and Barrett in the performance! If you see it live, I hope you get to see her as Regina!

I needed that so much lol
i love ashley so hard dkdk god she's so amazing
What the actual heck how did Regina keep such a straight face when she was doing that amazing riff! Like wtf she’s a literal queen!
I LOVE ASHLEY SO MUCH AHH
Tee sang "I never got it" the original lyrics from DC, I love her
Wow such talent! And amazing job for understudies to be as good the first cast, while having to learn more parts and not getting to play them that often either! #understudiesrule!
“We make out here, spoiler”
😂😂😂 we love Ashley
her voice is phenomenal
I wonder how they do the "her natural color is dark blonde" line when Ashley is on for Regina? She's not wearing a wig, is she?
She has a wig that's her hair color but straight
The line becomes “she says she’s part Cherokee but she’s really Dutch on her mother’s side”
Kennedy Boston 😂😂😂😂😂 that’s gold
They also change the line during "Apex Predator," when one of the ensemble members steps forward to talk about Regina being the prettiest girl in school and says, "I'm like, 'okay, white people.'" When there's a Regina of colour, the girl says "I'm like, 'yeah, white people, welcome to the future.'"
She wore a wig that had some slight light brownish/blonde highlights in it. But the wig was her hair color for the most part
Ashley killed it!
i like tee as cady because she really embodies that looser vibe at the beginning of the show, but still is really elegant and confident like cady later is. however, i don’t love her as janis. her vocals are great, but her acting is very over the top (not always a bad thing) but janis is a more nuanced role. but, regardless, i love tee so much and the rest of the understudies and swings
tee is insanely talented
"we make out here" mOoD
TEE'S BELT THOUGH
6:30 this girl is insane
How did she sing the high notes like they were nothing
Shelbear years of practice I’ve been there
Someone gets hurt is so good😍😍
ALL THE SOMEONE GETS HURT SONG WAS SO GOOD OMG I LOVE ASHLEY
I think i still prefer taylor to ashley but she did so well
Thea Rilow sane she’s more like “classic” Regina george
She’s got more of the classic bitch look 😂😂
Issy Scotty shes got the bitch voice and walk down too
Thea Rilow yeah I think maybe cause the movie I just identify her as more of a Regina. And she’s nailed the whiney singing voice that still sounds good but has that edge that says I’m a manipulative person 😂
Issy Scotty Ashley’s so beautiful and talented
I love Tee Boyich so much!! She’s so talented:3
Tee sounds like Kristen Bell when she speaks.
I can never un-hear that
Rags ! You’re welcome! 😂
Tee’s so adorable! At the end of I’d rather be me the thumbs up and the smile 😭
I did stupid with love for my grade 8 musical theatre exam and as with all songs I do for an exam, hated it afterwards and vowed to not sing it again, however this has changed my mind, it’s such fun to perform and Cady is an amazing character, wonderfully portrayed here!
I saw Tee as Cady and she was so good in the performance. As good as Erika for me tbh. The acting and singing was PERFECT
Tee’s voice AAAAA
It’s very pleasing to hear someone sing I’d rather be me without screaming.
I LOVE ASHLEY AAAAAAHHHHHH
Lmao "Look both ways before crossing the street" Yeah and don't stop in the middle of the street to yell at your ex friend for ruining your life oof-

Ashley is so effortlessly perfect omf
Ashley is my new idol
Ashley is so beautiful!! And talented!!!
I am SO gay for ashley de la rosa
im in love with Ashley oh my god
Wow, Ashley is amazing!
Omg ashley!!! Yesss😍😍😍
I love the key change in this song so much!

Swings are the fuckin *backbone* of theatre
Love them! "Look both ways before crossing the street!"😂 You killed it ladies! Love you!❤️❤️❤️

I personally like barretts version much more than tees version since I don't really think tee has the right voice for janis
Don't @ me tho
ɱαɳԃɨ agreed, it really doesn't suit her.
That’s because she was supposed to play Cady didn’t have the experience so they put her in as an US/ swing.
I agree she’s still great though
Yeah the role of cady fits her perfectly Janis doesn't rlly fit her I saw gianna yanelli as Janis she didn't have the same vocal range as barrett but during apex predator she slayed those high notes and the character fits her personality
Yea she was really flat on some of the notes
I WANT TO SEE MEAN GIRLS SO BADLY
I think that Tee (the blonde I’m pretty sure that’s her name) personalizes the songs a LOT which isn’t necessarily bad but it messed them up a bit for me.
If she had her own original role I’d like her a lot more
Coco Roberts she was originally cast as Cady for the labs.

bro ashley fine as hell 😔 cady wack as hell tryna put her down wowew
we make out here, spoiler -Ashley😂😂
wow ashley has a killer voice taylor is still queen!
Tee sounds like Cady and Ashley sounds like Regina!! 😍😍😍😍
When I went to see Mean Girls I got to see Ashely (not Ashley Park) as Gretchen and she almost blows Ashley Park out of the water
I think Tee did a great Janis. She portrayed movie Janis so well! Barrett has her own rendition, and she strains her voice too much anyway.
Great job all y’all!
Daaaamn she is a fantastic Regina 😆😆 5:00

i like ashley’s more than taylor’s,,,,,,,,, oof
What do they do in the show when they say Reno ad not a natural blonde she’s dark blonde but this understudy’s wig is brown
do you think she will be cady on the tour?
Oh my god who is that cute host
When I went there was 2 understudies Devon hadsell as gretchen (she sounded amazing just like Ashley park she fit the role so amazing also this was before Ashley park left she just didn't come) and gianna yanelli as Janis I think gianna sounds amazing but barrett has a very different vocal range from her
Poor Janis, Tee looks nothing like her, and sounds too sweet to be her.
Not like a /bedroom/ scene
spoiler alert we make out here
Question: Are these 2 girls swings for the characters, or did they replace the og cast?
Swings
I don’t think that Tee overacts but I think her Janis is angrier. I think it’s good that there are multiple different takes.
Wow, this Janis sounds way better then the OG, much healthier and nicer to listen to :D I love her :)
Where was this and what cast is this
It was at an event in New York City, and it was the original cast of 'Mean Girls' (the women preforming are understudies/swings for some of the lead roles)
Oh my god, Ashley is fantastic as Regina in someone gets hurt : O
Also I feel like tee doesn't rlly fit as a Janis Sarkisian at all she fits the role of cady perfectly that's just my opinion
