The only way this news could've gotten better was if it was announced on a Wednesday (when we were all wearing pink): it's been confirmed that a Mean Girls<\/em> musical is officially a go.<\/p>\n

According to Tina Fey's husband, Jeff Richmond (who did the music for 30 Rock<\/em>), the musical is "going along swimmingly."<\/p>\n

"We're very happy with how things are coming along so far," he continued. "And maybe this thing will be out by the Mean Girls<\/em> 15th anniversary."<\/p>\n

THAT LONG?! …Okay, okay. It's fine. It'll be fine. Especially since taking a longer time means actual thought and care is going into it. Also, I trust Jeff and Tina. I trust them with my goddamn life. Why? Because they're not even aiming to find "big" stars — they're taking the legit Mean Girls<\/em> approach all over again. (Minus Lindsay Lohan.)<\/p>\n

"I think we really want to find interesting people no one has seen before," Richmond continued. "I don't think I can say Audra McDonald will play Cady. Hopefully we'll find a young person who, at this moment, is still in college but will be making her way to New York as we write. Still a fetus somewhere."<\/p>\n

And don't get discouraged by the 15th anniversary mention: turns out they're also hoping to start workshopping the musical this year  — as in into the summer and fall. (So soon kind of! YES.) Either way, this thing is going to happen, which makes it the opposite of fetch even though I would describe it as fetch. I mean, DUH. (I'm a mouse.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
