Following her enrollment at North Shore High School, Cady gets roped into the ruthless high school politics of “Girl World,” which is led by the school’s power-hungry clique, The Plastics.
The Sex Lives of College Girls star Reneé Rapp, who played Regina George in the stage musical, is set to reprise her role in the film with Moana’s Auli’i Cravalho cast as sarcastic art student Janis Sarkisian.
Senior Year star Angourice Rice and A Strange Loop powerhouse Jaquel Spivey are also set to star in the film as transfer student Cady Heron and Janis’ openly gay best friend Damian Hubbard, respectively.
Jeff Richmond is head of music, with Nell Benjamin writing lyrics and Lorne Michales producing the film.
The original 2004 film – which first introduced moviegoers to “Girl World” and its ever-changing hierarchy – starred Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried and Lacey Chabert.
It grossed over $129 million at the worldwide box office and developed a cult following.
