Tina Fey has written the book for the Broadway-bound musical, which will feature music by Jeff Richmond and lyrics by Nell Benjamin (_Legally Blonde_). Erika Henningsen will lead the cast as Cady Heron, a home-schooled teenager entering high school for the first time, where she contends with three queen bees known as the Plastics: Regina George (Taylor Louderman), Gretchen Wieners (Ashley Park), and Karen Smith (Kate Rockwell). The cast also includes Cady’s best friends — Barrett Wilbert Weed as Janis and Grey Henson as Damian — as well as Kyle Selig as Aaron Samuels, Kerry Butler as Ms. Norbury, Cheech Manohar as Kevin Gnapoor, and Rick Younger as Mr. Duvall.
