  • “Broadway has waited a long time for Tina Fey’s talent. At last she’s here” (The New York Times). Directed by Casey Nicholaw, Mean Girls features a book by Fey (“30 Rock”, Bossypants), music by Jeff Richmond (“30 Rock”, “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”), and lyrics by Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde). Entertainment Weekly calls it “A marvel: dazzling and hilarious!” and New York Magazine cheers, “Mean Girls delivers with immense energy, a wicked sense of humor and joyful inside-jokery.”
    Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. Soon, this naïve newbie falls prey to 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.
    Mean Girls is “fresh, fun and infectious!” (People). USA Today says, “We’ll let you in on a little secret, because we’re such good friends: Get your tickets now!”

      Throughout the whole song, Janis separates herself from everything that happens, indirectly blaming Cady and trying to appear to everyone as if she is the one who was good and Regina and Cady are the ones who were wrong in everything, without accepting her mistakes or anything. It would make sense with the character if that was the intention they had with the song but apparently it is not@@your.local.theaterkid
