In a delightful turn of events, Lindsay Lohan made an unexpected appearance at the premiere of the “Mean Girls” musical movie in New York City on Monday night, radiating elegance and capturing attention with her presence.
The original luminary of “Mean Girls” joyously marked the film’s premiere alongside writer-producer Tina Fey, reprising her iconic role as Ms. Norbury from the beloved 2004 comedy. Joining in the celebration was Angourie Rice, embodying Lohan’s character, Cady Heron.
Lohan and Fey were accompanied by fellow original cast members Daniel Franzese, who portrayed the unforgettable Damian Hubbard, and Rajiv Surrendra, the rapping mathlete Kevin Gnapoor.
Speculation arose about potential cameos from the original cast in the film. When questioned about this possibility on the pink carpet, Fey teased, “I couldn’t possibly say, but we do have some fun cameos.” She hinted at appearances by Ashley Park, Tim Meadows, and some entertaining influencer friends, encouraging eager audiences to experience the surprises upon the movie’s release this Friday.
The star-studded affair saw the attendance of additional “Mean Girls” cast members and contributors, including Reneé Rapp, Christopher Briney, Auli’i Cravalho, Jaquel Spivey, Avantika, Bebe Wood, Busy Philipps, Jon Hamm, Megan Thee Stallion, director of photography Bill Kirstein, choreographer Kyle Hanagami, and co-directors Arturo Perez Jr. and Samantha Payne.
Reflecting on the challenge of adapting the Broadway musical’s portrayal of Regina George for the silver screen, co-director Samantha Payne shared insights from conversations with Reneé Rapp, who embodied the iconic queen bee on stage.
“We discussed the need for a personalized take on the role. The dynamics on Broadway differ significantly when compared to the intimacy of the camera,” Payne explained, gesturing to emphasize her point. “Reneé brought her own interpretation, making it intimate and unique. Audiences are in for a treat witnessing her performance.”
Audiences eager to relive the iconic high school saga can catch “Mean Girls” as it hits theaters this Friday, promising a captivating journey back to North Shore High School’s gripping drama.
