The company draws professional talent and produces shows with full-scale production values — sets, costumes, live orchestration — that consistently leave Atlanta-area audiences floored.

Mean Girls the musical is based on the iconic 2004 film written by Tina Fey, with a book also by Fey and a score by Jeff Richmond and Nell Benjamin. The Broadway production earned 12 Tony Award nominations and became a cultural phenomenon in its own right, translating the sharp wit and biting social commentary of the original film into a full-scale theatrical experience. The story follows Cady Heron as she navigates the brutal social hierarchy of a suburban high school after growing up in Africa, landing in the orbit of the ruthless Plastics led by the infamous Regina George. The musical layers in catchy, contemporary pop songs and clever staging that updates the material for modern audiences while preserving everything that made the original film a generational touchstone.

Why Atlanta Fans Can't Miss This

Atlanta is a city with a deep, passionate performing arts community, and productions like this one demonstrate exactly why. Mean Girls is a show that connects across generations — audiences who grew up with the film and audiences discovering the story for the first time through the musical both find something to love. The combination of Tina Fey's endlessly quotable writing, a genuinely great pop-theatre score, and the intimate power of Byers Theatre makes this a production that delivers on every level.

City Springs Theatre Company productions routinely sell out.
