In this episode, we dive deep into the evolution of Mean Girls across three distinct mediums: the 2004 original film, a recent local theater production of the hit Broadway adaptation, and the 2024 movie that brought the musical version to the big screen. Joined by a special guest, Livy Hansen (Syd's sister) who starred in the local theater rendition, we explore the nuances and interpretations of the iconic story. From discussing how each version captures the essence of Mean Girls in its own unique way to sharing behind-the-scenes anecdotes and standout performances, we analyze the impact of societal changes, creative choices, and audience reception on the timeless narrative. With engaging conversations and insightful reflections, this podcast episode offers a comprehensive exploration of Mean Girls' enduring legacy across film and musical theater.
