Summary

63% Informative

Tina Fey , who wrote the original movie and the book for the Broadway musical, returns to script this incarnation.

The plot between the 2004 Lindsay Lohan vehicle and this singing-dancing version is virtually the same.

The Sex Lives of College Girls' Reneé Rapp, The Nice Guys' Angourie Rice , and Moana 's Auli'i Cravalho also star in the musical.

Angourie Rice can't compare to Lindsay Lohan's Cady Heron .

While Cady becomes less of a hero and more of a device to usher audiences through catchphrases and song numbers, Auli'i Cravalho stands out as rebel Janis ' Imi'ike .
