[@leavemealone802]

That is a excellent point. "Life isn't a popularity contest" is the biggest lie someone could tell you

[@jamiehood850]

Barrett is totally my hero- Everything she's done from Bare to Heathers to Mean Girls totally inspires me. I was really sad that I didn't get to meet her at the stage door when I saw Mean Girls, but my sister says she's too big for that. At least seeing her live was magical, but I just wanted to tell her what an inspiration she is to me, though she is literally my exact opposite- she's cool and edgy, and I'm super awkward and comedic whenever I'm in a show

[@grey.poupon]

Jamie Hood no broadway star is ever too big for the stage door, everyone from idina to lin to fran drescher come out to the stage door. Barret isnt coming out anymore because during mean girls previews a fan followed her home from the stage door so its a safety risk for her to come out every night.

[@jamiehood850]

Oh okay I understand, that's all cool . It would have been awesome to meet one of my heroes, but if she's concerned for her safety, I totally feel for her and respect that. Maybe if I come to Mean Girls again some time, I can meet her then

[@rowansimone5036]

Jamie Hood who did you see? When I saw it my parents didn’t let me wait for them 😭

[@lnh7199]

[@jamiehood850]

Really Rowan?! I actually was kind of shoved behind these two guys, who seemed to be a couple, but I got to meet pretty much everyone except Barrett for a few seconds. Some of my favorite moments were telling Kerry how much she inspires me, and her thanking me, and telling Grey I relate to Damian's OTT Theater attitude, and repeatedly breaking out into song, to which he responded "You should play him!" I look nothing like Damian, though I don't really think I'm an Aaron either.

[@charnightt]

If anyone wants lyrics (I don't know if anyone else other than me wants lyrics, but just in case) It's the Drama Desk Awards You're all winners in our book But if your thank you speech goes on You'll get the hook You'll get 90 seconds flat From the time we call your name So run up here and keep it short Or face public shame No for real it would be mean to thank and thank We got people to get through If we sit here and camp drank(? It's a bit difficult to tell what they are singing for that part. If anyone knows, please tell me) We will sit here hating on you Kick Layout Fosse We gotta move this s*** along That's why we put rules in the song If you're thanking your agent You are doing something wrong There's a red light, when it blinks, just stop We love you all Don't speak too long.

[@NQueen-el5ul]

I think they're saying "can't drink" as referring to if you make your speech too long we won't be able to drink cause we're waiting for you to get off the stage but you aren't that's why we'll hate on you.

sorry but i'll forever see her as "Heathers' Barrett Wilbert Weed" instead of "Mean Girls' Barrett Wilbert Weed"

[@lex_morgan]

Way to put her in a box and not let her grow as an artist. She has done so many productions that's very unfair to just think of her as that one role. Honestly you should be thinking of her as Barrett and not veronica or Janis or Ms.Pennywise or any other character she has graced us as. It's like referring to any singer by one of their hit songs that they had when they were first starting out like baby justin bieber or what makes you beautiful one direction and all that jazz. Sorry not sorry to rant but that type of statement really butters my egg roll

[@j.f.l.bousquet1998]

On the movie she is of Lebanese heritage. On the musical Tina Fey changed Janis Ian to Janis Sarkisian because Janis Ian is the name of a real person (a 60's pop singer) and named her Sarkisian as a joke / tribute to Cher (her real name is Cherilyn Sarkisian).
