[@kathrynschaller8875]

I've just binged the Mean Girls and Beetlejuice broadway(dot)com series and I can't help but notice how much happier Kerry seems in this series. She's a lot more bubbly and free-spirited. I think being in such a predominantly younger (20's) cast in MG made her a lot more closed off than she is in Beetlejuice. Not saying the MG cast was exclusive; they seem like such sweethearts, but she seems like a different person here.
