The much-anticipated Mean Girls movie musical has finally hit the theatres, accompanied by a soundtrack honouring and reimagining the beloved 2018 stage show. The new adaptation, a brainchild of Tina Fey\u2019s comedic genius, brings fresh tunes to the story of Cady Heron\u2019s navigation through the treacherous social ecosystem of high school. As the tracklist gets unveiled, fans eagerly discover what musical numbers have survived the transition from stage to screen and which have been left behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The soundtrack of the Mean Girls movie musical, released concurrently with the film\u2019s premiere, is a mix of old and new. While fan-favourite numbers from the Broadway show have been retained, several tracks, including \u201cIt Roars,\u201d \u201cWhere Do You Belong?,\u201d and \u201cFearless,\u201d were notably absent. In a significant change, \u201cIt Roars\u201d has been replaced by a new song titled \u201cWhat Ifs,\u201d performed by Angourie Rice, who plays the lead role of Cady Heron. This new addition, co-written by Rene\u00e9 Rapp, who portrays Regina George, adds a unique flavour to the movie\u2019s musical landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The soundtrack showcases a star-studded cast, featuring the voices of Angourie Rice, Rene\u00e9 Rapp, Auli\u2019i Cravalho, Jaquel Spivey, Avantika, Bebe Wood, Tim Meadows, and more. Jeff Richmond\u2019s music and Nell Benjamin\u2019s lyrics bring the high school drama to life with a mix of catchy and emotionally resonant songs. The movie musical\u2019s song list includes \u201cA Cautionary Tale,\u201d \u201cMeet the Plastics,\u201d \u201cStupid With Love,\u201d \u201cApex Predator,\u201d \u201cSexy,\u201d \u201cSomeone Gets Hurt,\u201d \u201cRevenge Party,\u201d \u201cWorld Burn,\u201d \u201cI\u2019d Rather Be Me,\u201d \u201cI See Stars,\u201d and the collaboration \u201cNot My Fault\u201d with Megan Thee Stallion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set in the backdrop of high school politics, the film follows new student Cady Heron as she gets entangled with \u201cThe Plastics,\u201d led by Regina George, and her minions Gretchen and Karen. Cady\u2019s journey of fitting in, falling out, and finding herself is laced with humour, heartache, and the timeless lesson of staying true to oneself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mean Girls movie musical is more than just a retelling; it\u2019s a reimagining that stays true to the essence of its source material while injecting it with new life. The soundtrack serves as a testament to the enduring popularity of this modern classic, adapting and evolving to capture the hearts of a new generation. As audiences groove to the tunes of \u201cWhat Ifs\u201d and \u201cRevenge Party,\u201d they\u2019re reminded that the world of high school, with its trials and tribulations, is as relevant and entertaining as ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
