Mean Girls Gretchen Weiners Costume

Product Information

In the film’s effort to both respect the original and carve out a separate legacy, too few tweaks are made, and this facelift just isn’t enough to warrant its existence. Every one of the principals gets a musical moment that tells us who they are, both the protective outer shell developed to survive the savage jungle of high school, and the tender human core, yearning to connect. Sure, you could go the whole "on Wednesday's we wear pink" route, but if you and your crew are looking for a fabulous Mean Girls-inspired group costume theme, you can't go wrong with the girls' iconic Halloween looks. Propelled by dazzling set design and several stand-out performances, the musical – written by Fey, with music by Jeff Richmond, and directed by Casey Nicholaw ( The Book of Mormon) – gives fans everything they want while bringing the saga of Regina George and the Plastics into the social media age. After a little sing-song over this new beginning, the reserved and lovably naïve Cady arrives in America — as do similar gags from the original, such as the bus almost running her over and montages of Cady and her lumberjack flannel not fitting into her new surroundings.

Janis explains her philosophy to the school, referencing her failed friendships with both Cady and Regina; empowering the girls to stand up for themselves ("I'd Rather Be Me"). The cast is led by Natalie Shaw as Cady Heron, Maya Petropoulos as Regina George, Kristen Amanda Smith as Gretchen Wieners, MaryRose Brendel as Karen Smith, Alexys Morera as Janis Ian, Ethan Jih-Cook as Damian Hubbard, Joseph Torres as Aaron Samuels and Shawn Mathews as Kevin Gnapoor. After the Plastics' disastrous "Rockin' Around the Pole" dance at the school talent show, people start noticing Regina's weight gain. And then for Hanukkah my parents got this pair of really expensive white gold hoops and I had to pretend like I didn’t even like them.When October rolls around, I can always count on my friends to suggest the idea of a Mean Girls Halloween group costume. Collection of fancy dress costumes will contain enough ideas and inspiration to ensure whatever event one attend, one is certain to have an ideal outfit.

As leader of The Plastics, Regina can be considered one of the most villainous characters of the 2000's.

It's not shocking that 'Mean Girls' is a fast-paced fancy fun time, but it's a real treat to find that it's still witty, worldly, and wise. It may contain similar catchphrases and make nods to the original’s titanic place in pop culture — but, much like Cady’s first steps in pink heels, a roll of an ankle is all that it manages to muster.The first act is so strong, with such a well-built, fast-paced arc, that the second half feels like it takes a few tugs on the starter cord before the lawnmower fires up again. The musical focuses on Cady Heron, a teenage girl who transfers to a public high school after being homeschooled her whole life in Africa. The three friends decide to work together to get revenge on Regina, starting with giving her Kälteen Bars to make her gain weight. Entertainment Weekly 's Kristen Baldwin gave the musical a B+, writing: "An ode to self-respect and the benefits of a STEM-based education, Broadway's Mean Girls is a lively, frequently hilarious adaptation of Tina Fey's 2004 high school comedy. In particular, Mean Girls shines when showcasing the way internalized misogyny causes something as insignificant as the pining for the affection of Aaron Samuels ( Christopher Briney), the cute boy whose best qualities are his tendency to get math equations wrong or obsessively part his hair like a Pavlovian response, causes friction and eventual war between Regina George ( Reneé Rapp) and Cady.
