Two of Mean Girls’ most famous alumni have revealed their strict condition when it came to appearing in the new musical reboot.
The movie focused on a young transfer student named Cady as she had to deal with the harsh realities of being a teen girl in high school and all of the misery, backstabbing, and humor that comes with it.
Mean Girls actors had one rule when returning for reboot
Tina Fey,who wrote the original Mean Girls’ movie that the musical was based on, played the part of math teacher Ms. Norbury in the original film, alongside her comedian friend Tim Meadows.
“I am reprising my role as Ms. Norbury because we thought, well, teachers work for a long time. So it might make sense if Tim and I did it,” Fey explained toPeople magazine, “So I called Tim and I was like, ‘Will you do it? I’ll do it if you do it.’ And we said, ‘Yes, as long as we don’t have to sing.’”
Fey continued stating, “It was fun. It’s been nice to see Tim. One of us has aged — the other one of us is Tim Meadows! But it’s been really nice to get to work with Tim again.”
Fey and Meadows weren’t the only original Mean Girls stars to come backfor the musical reboot asLindsay Lohan, who played the main character Cady, can be seen as a judge in the Mathlete tournament, which is a nod to her role in the original film.
