Uber Is Giving Teens Free Rides to See the Mean Girls Movie Musical

Good news for teenage Broadway fans. New Uber Teen (a special account designation) users will be able to get two free rides of up to $15 to go to a movie theatre to see the new movie musical version of Mean Girls, releasing in movie theatres January 12. The promotion runs January 10–15, so teens can even hitch a ride to early access screenings (check local listings).

But any good teenage Mean Girls fan has a ~~regular~~ cool mom or dad at home, and Uber has them covered, too. Parents can watch along from pick-up to theatre drop-off to make sure everyone's safe and not cutting class in the back building. The promotion is available to existing Teen account holders who have not yet taken a ride and new users that create their account during the promotional period.

Adapted from the 2018 Broadway musical, Mean Girls features a host of stage and screen favorites in the cast, including Reneé Rapp, reprising her stage performance as queen bee Regina George; Mean Girls original cast member Ashley Park as Madame Park; Broadway alum and Tony nominee Jaquel Spivey (A Strange Loop) as Damian; Auli'i Cravalho (Moana, Little Mermaid Live) as Janis; Angourie Rice (Spider-Man: Homecoming) as Cady Heron; Avantika (Senior Year) as the ditzy Karen; Bebe Wood (Love, Victor) as toaster strudel heiress Gretchen; Christopher Briney (The Summer I Turned Pretty) as Regina's boyfriend Aaron Samuels; Girls5Eva star Busy Phillips as Mrs. George; The Office's Jenna Fischer as Ms. Heron; Mean Girls stage and screen writer Tina Fey as Ms. Norbury; SNL alum Tim Meadows as Mr. Duvall; Mad Men star Jon Hamm as Coach Carr; Mahi Alam (American Born Chinese) as Kevin Ganatra; and Connor Ratliff (Search Party) as a new teacher character, Mr. Rapp.

The movie filmed in New Jersey earlier this year.
