Casting is now set for the world premiere of the Broadway-bound Mean Girls musical, which begins performances October 31 at Washington, D.C's National Theatre.
Taylor Louderman (currently in Kinky Boots on Broadway) will take on the role of queen bee Regina George, with Ashley Park (The King and I) and Kate Rockwell (Bring It On) as her fellow "Plastics" Gretchen Wieners and Karen Smith, respectively. Erika Henningsen, who made her Broadway debut as the youngest Fantine in Les Misérables history in the recent revival, will play the central role of Cady Heron.
