Episode 9: Too Grool for School: Backstage at MEAN GIRLS with Erika Henningsen

[@user-xz2fc4fd9j]

also ashley repeatedly desperately yelling 'jAsOn!!!' throughout the video is fantastic

[@fawkes9718]

Revenge Party could have 20 more verses and I would still listen to it every day for the rest of my life.

[@jackiejns983]

Same.

[@sweetlazylife8190]

[@maceynovacek4700]

It’s my favorite song in the album

F, I got it to 666

[@lycheelaura]

KeepingItREL it’s so dark tho 😂😂

[@clayhobson5355]

its the most disturbing line but its great

[@michaelduffy6358]

There was another alternate verse and it went like “imagine a disco ball over our heads (check!) Also balloons and champagne (check! Check!) Then we’ll get a piñata and beat it to shreds Until the candy falls down my face (And Regina’s the piñata!)”

[@seranicole1120]

Why would they cut Kerry's solo?! It sounds so beautiful. And also... JASON!!!

[@mayakim5240]

Fadhil Ramadhani IKR! I saw somewhere that they couldn’t put it anywhere without slowing down the plot.

[@michaelduffy6358]

It was a long song, the original DC production was close to 3 hours, and they needed to shave off a half hour

[@lautaroroldanpizzorno7494]

It was boring, slowed the plot of the show and was unnecessarily cheesy with a character that's supposed to be comedic.

[@daydreamer1881]

@@lautaroroldanpizzorno7494 No. It really wasn't. They and yes it did make the show long but it was no where near boring. I been to the DC version and the amount of cheering people cheered for Kerry was huge.

[@lautaroroldanpizzorno7494]

@@daydreamer1881 What's Wrong With Me? (Reprise) works a million times better narratively. Stay With Mother was too sad and told us stuff the audience didn't need to know. Plus the reprise adds character development to Gretchen as well and draws an interesting parallel between both the character's relationships with Regina and Cady. Kerry still sounds amazing in both of course, but I'm just talking plot-wise.

[@SkinnyRevival]

Josie Pfeiffer it was after one of the parties (i can’t remember which) where he chased a small group of girls across the stage in a t-shirt and underwear saying things along the line of “whO NeEDs pANTs.” and yes, it was magical.

[@sophiemargaret7074]

Ashley and Kate’s duet needs more recognitionnnn

[@giasthedirector]

My fav part is when Kate & Ashley were singing (prob a song about talking behind Regina's back) and then Taylor literally peeked in the back

[@lautaroroldanpizzorno7494]

It was a part of Apex Predator, right after Cady tells Gretchen and Karen she likes Aaron. So yeah, kinda

[@clairelundin11]

The extra verse for Sexy is my favourite thing. That song is such a bop

[@isfelle]

My ONE wish for 2020 is that Grey, Erika and Barrett get together and record revenge party with every verse that was even considered

One vote for this to be a series until Mean Girls is off Broadway or ten years, whatever one is closer.

[@bwaycatherine]

legit almost started crying when they started singing the stupid with love cut version

[@caitlinranus5133]

“self esteem and choking” wow what a musical

[@alysrose7181]

i wish you kept in the bit in revenge party where janis says what regina did to her,it makes me so sad and i think it was so effective (they did it in place of the bit where regina gets cady to say that aaron’s hair looks sexy)

[@phoenixblue-koszalka1518]

Agreed. It makes Cady seem more likable, too, because with that verse in there, she isn't just getting back at Regina for her own reasons, but also on behalf of her friend.

[@ariellakahan-harth8831]

I love hearing all the cut songs and verses!

[@drewpost1907]

in love with cady and aarons little song at the end, it was really pretty.

[@Evelyn-rb1zj]

The cut revenge party verse is in the new movie! and I honestly love the sisters line followed by "sweetheart when was the last party you were at?" because yeahh okay maybe I too remember the wishes of being sisters with my best friend from when I was a kid and yeah dress-ups and games were probably still what I associated with parties at 16/17 as well because I was never very popular either (due to my refusal to fit in the "Normal" box) and I think the most recent party I'd attend at the time was a friend's birthday party (it was a pool party ironically) and it was pretty much just hanging out with friends and snacks and playing games so yeah it definitely feels right for Janis' character

[@alliamiskatie]

So so so glad there was another vlog episode!!! Loved the little snippet of this other stupid with love reprise.

[@skinkscat]

Just got the CD of the cast recording two days ago because I was only listening to that for a month straight and my KZbin only recommended me mean girls related videos so I felt justified in buying it! I love this show so much!!! It would be amazing to play Gretchen one day (also, Kyle lookin as amazing as he always does in the Aaron blue striped polo)
