About City Springs Theatre Company and Mean Girls

City Springs Theatre Company is Atlanta's go-to source for professional, large-scale musical theatre productions in the northern metro area. Operating out of the stunning City Springs performing arts complex in Sandy Springs, the company has built a loyal following by staging high-production-value shows that rival anything touring through the Fox Theatre. Their productions are known for exceptional casting, live orchestration, and meticulous staging — and Mean Girls is exactly the kind of property that showcases everything this company does best.

Mean Girls the musical took Broadway by storm when it opened in 2018, earning 12 Tony Award nominations. With a book by Tina Fey, music by Jeff Richmond, and lyrics by Nell Benjamin, the show transforms the cult classic film into a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud musical that speaks directly to modern audiences. The story of Cady Heron navigating the social jungle of North Shore High School — and the ruthless reign of Regina George and The Plastics — lands with the same sharp wit on stage as it does on screen, amplified by catchy, energetic songs and spectacular choreography.

City Springs Theatre Company's production of Mean Girls arrives at a moment when Atlanta's theatre scene is absolutely thriving. Audiences across Sandy Springs, Buckhead, Dunwoody, and greater Atlanta have made City Springs a cultural hub, and this production is positioned as one of the company's most anticipated events of the 2025–2026 season. Whether you're a lifelong theatre devotee or someone who grew up quoting the movie, this is a production designed to deliver on every level.
