The new Broadway musical adaptation of the hit film Mean Girls has announced a cast album from Atlantic Records. The original score by Jeff Richmond and Nell Benjamin will be available for repeat listening on all digital platforms beginning on May 18. Physical CDs will arrive in stores on June 15.
Mean Girls centers on Cady Heron, a high-schooler who moves to Illinois after years of living with her zoologist parents in Africa. A sweet, naive newbie, Cady quickly attracts the attention of The Plastics, a trio of popular frenemies led by the vicious and calculating Regina George. When Cady devises a plan to end Regina’s reign, she learns that you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.
