‘Mean Girls’ movie musical heading to theaters


That’s so fetch.

The “Mean Girls” Broadway musical is coming to theaters next year, Deadline reported Friday.

The Paramount project was originally intended to stream on Paramount+ but will now be released on the big theaters on Jan. 12, 2024.

Adapted from the 2018 Broadway production, Reneé Rapp will reprise her breakout role in the upcoming film as Regina George.

Last month, Rapp alleged to the Guardian in that production “would say some vile f–king things to me about my body.”

She claimed the remarks allegedly worsened her eating disorder.

Fey wrote the screenplay based on the book “Queen Bees and Wannabes” by Rosalind Wiseman.

The movie grossed $130.1 million worldwide and has since become a cult classic. A sequel was made in 2011 with a new lead cast.
