The tracklist for “Mean Girls” (2024) is out, and it turns out some of the songs “can’t sit with” others that have made it into Tina Fey’s film adaptation of the Broadway musical, which comes out Jan. 12.
The fourth iteration of the high school dramedy — it’s adapted from the stage musical that was based on the 2004 original film which was adapted from the 2002 parenting book “Queen Bees and Wannabes” by Rosalind Weisman — stars Angourie Rice (“The Last Thing He Told Me”) as Cady Haron, Auli’i Cravalho (“Moana,” “The Power”) as Janis and Jaquel Spivey (lead in “A Strange Loop” on Broadway) as Damian.
Renée Rapp, who played Regina George in the musical, will reprise her role in the film. Avantika (“Senior Year”) will play Karen and Bebe Wood (“Love, Victor”) will play Gretchen.
Aside from Cady and her oscillation between Janis and Damian and “The Plastics,” she will also feel a pull to Christopher Briney’s (“The Summer I Turned Pretty”) Aaron Samuels. Jenna Fischer (“The Office”) will play Ms. Heron, Cady’s mom, and Busy Phillips will play Ms. George, Regina’s mom. Jon Hamm will play Coach Carr. Ashley Park will play the French teacher. Tina Fey will return as Ms. Norbury, and Tim Meadows will reprise his role of Principal Duvall from the first film.
Rapp, whose debut album “Snow Angel” came out in August of 2023, will belt out some songs solo, as will Angourie Rice. The entire cast is enlisted in some numbers as well, but Chris Briney won’t dust off his vocals from “The Summer I Turned Pretty” for a lyric or two, he told Entertainment Weekly.
The official soundtrack, released by Interscope Records Wednesday Jan. 3, as well as all the other songs in the film, can be found below:
