When "Mean Girls" opened in theaters last week, some people showed up anticipating a regular remake of the 2004 movie that defined early aughts teenhood. But in a video shared online, audible and irritated groans from audience members can be heard the second lead character Cady (Angourie Rice) begins to sing in the new version of Tina Fey's comedy.
It seems that some audience members didn't know that this new version of "Mean Girls" is an adaptation of the critically acclaimed Broadway musical that premiered in 2017. The video amassed millions of views on X and TikTok with people questioning how the audience went into the movie completely oblivious to its large musical component.
