It's the mark of a very successful story if it can be told in multiple formats and still maintain all its power, and it looks like the story of Mean Girls is that kind of successful story.

Tina Fey Announces Movie Adaptation Of 'Mean Girls' The Musical
'Mean Girls' was a smash hit when it came out in 2004.
Not only was it hilarious (obviously — it was written by Tina Fey, after all) but it was smart and relatable. Even though our own high school experiences weren't exactly as dramatic as Cady Heron's almost everyone could relate to feeling like an outsider desperate to fit in.
Then it was a smash hit on Broadway when it was adapted as a musical in 2017.

The musical has been running since 2017, and has been a huge hit, so it shouldn't be surprising that they want to bring a version of it to the big screen.
Tina Fey announced that the musical would be adapted into a movie, saying, "“I’m very excited to bring ‘Mean Girls’ back to the big screen."
“It’s been incredibly gratifying to see how much the movie and the musical have meant to audiences. I’ve spent sixteen years with these characters now," Tina continued.
"They are my Marvel Universe and I love them dearly.”

Honestly, I am down for any excuse to watch Mean Girls again, and now there'll be two different versions to cycle through on repeat.
Isn't that just so fetch?
