Mean girls is one of those timeless films that were part of our adolescence and that, even today, can be watched with great pleasure because in addition to making us laugh it also makes us reflect on how much the years of high school can be decisive for our growth path. Not to mention that many of the iconic lines uttered by the protagonists have rightfully entered the collective imagination (the famous On Wednesday we wear pink) and – not surprisingly – some scenes are among the most popular memes on social media.
Okay, how would you feel if we told you that Tina Fey, the author and screenwriter of the 2004 film, has a musical remake in mind with Billie Eilish and Zendaya? First reaction: SHOCK.

But let’s go in order: you will certainly remember the story told in the film, taken from the book Queen Bees & Wannabes of Rosalind Wiseman.

The film – also thanks to the cast, with several actors of Saturday Night Live – at the time had an extraordinary success. So that Tina Fey (who plays Miss Norbury) in 2017 led to Broadway the homonymous theatrical version based on the original screenplay. Needless to say, the musical was also nominated for Tony but, precisely because of the emergency Covid, was last staged in March 2020. Precisely for this reason, the author has stated that she would like to bring the remake of Mean Girls, but always in a musical version. At the microphones of Capital Fm, stated that he would see Zendaya as Cady very well and Billie Eilish as Janis, Regina’s ex-best friend, humiliated by the group for her sexuality.
Unfortunately for now only rumors remain. But if it is true that two clues make a test, a few days ago, on the pages of GQ, Zendaya told how she felt after winning theEmmy and described that moment “as when Cady breaks the crown in Mean Girls». If you know what I mean…
