Taylor Louderman Chats About "Mean Girls"

Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. How will this naïve newbie rise to the top of the popularity pecking order? By taking on The Plastics, a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George (Taylor Louderman). But, when Cady devises a plan to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.

Can I take a moment to talk about how great this interviewer is? She’s respectful and doesn’t interrupt, she clearly did some research and knows what she’s talking about and is just having casual conversation with Taylor while also staying on topic and hitting every point. You don’t see many interviewers like that anymore so like, *mad* respect.

[@keke9795]

I know right! Her name is Laura, I met her before and she is so nice!

[@Averia89]

Her name is Taylor Louderman and she is a massive deal.

[@limoreshakar6686]

Jarrel Brannon yup saw her on Broadway before and hope to see mean girls soon 😉👌!

[@limoreshakar6686]

Jarrel Brannon so true ... going to see it 7/15/18 and she better be there 😂

[@Emily-im1hu]

a *MASSIVE deal

[@limoreshakar6686]

Jarrel Brannon Damn right 😊

[@rickym242]

@@limoreshakar6686 did you see her in Kinky Boots or Bring it on? or was it another show?

[@solcarlosofficial]

she seems so passionate about her work and she seems so sweet.

[@mallorybarnes]

she's the sweetest

[@killerbees312]

Rachel McAdams may have made Regina George an iconic character, but Taylor Louderman has elevated Regina to rock star status with her vocals. Could Tina Fey have found a better actress to play Regina on Broadway? Tina Fey said from the start that Taylor has this gigantic voice. Man, Tina wasn't lying. Her performance as Regina blew me away. I never expected it to be this great. I would vote for Taylor without hesitation to win the Tony. She definitely deserves it, but I think the Tony committee decided on Katrina Lenk long before "Mean Girls" even opened on Broadway. Yes, it's really unfair, when you consider that Katrina has been playing the same role in "Band's Visit" since 2016 (off-Broadway). A rule change is definitely in order to limit nominations to actors and shows that debut that given year.

[@carlosalejandroalvarenga4913]

It's amazing. Her voice has a texture that makes it so satisfying on her high notes.

[@yoanna7505]

World Burn is phenomenal.

[@SunRay596]

I think that Mariah Rose Faith- who is now playing Regina on the tour- is going to bring a new version to her that is going to elevate her status even more. She has huge vocals and really clear quality- not really the same to Taylor, but I think she is going to be amazing. (i might be biased bc i love mariah soooooooo much) but i still think she is going to bring a whole new layer to Regina that is going to be epic.

[@seandalo]

Yes and her name is Renee Rapp

[@melinakoukourikis6889]

i didnt ever imagine that Regina George would be able to sing like Taylor can. When i heard Someone Gets Hurts and she hit that note i stopped eating my chocolate and my jaw dropped.

[@phoenixwing5133]

Not your chocolate! :o

[@yee-raplantar-maximoff4318]

Lol, I thought the same with Renee and Mariah when I discovered them. I thought, “Nobody could beat Taylor,” but man was I wrong. They’re all as amazing as each other

[@samuelbrown112]

She and Ashley Park stole the show. They were amazing.

[@liamneu1430]

Samuel Brown and Kate Rockwell, Karen is a great character

[@nathanielsan2806]

Don’t forget the iconic song, SEXY

Going to see it in August! Can't wait to see all of them shine!

[@ber2704]

erika's great as well!

[@yasdaiana]

and Demian! Everyone’s AMAZING tbh

[@hannahfuhlhage5342]

I absolutely adore Taylor. She's one of the most genuine celebrities we have and we don't deserve her.

[@abigailnoelmortensen482]

I love how well she plays manipulative characters. Campbell may have been the protagonist in Bring It On, but she still manipulated everyone to make a cheer team in her revenge against Eva.

[@goodjobeli]

I've fallen in love with this woman help me

[@bunchastuff14]

[@macyskaggs5297]

22:26 has me so weak💖😭 love this cast!

[@regina5135]

What Taylor said in the middle (12:26) really touched me. I needed to hear that. This show is really more than just simply being the good or the bad guy. The music is so beautiful too. I'm in love.

[@carleymillette9338]

I really wish I could go see Mean Girls... My dad and I made a deal that he would take me to see it if I got As in all my classes in the final quarter of the school year and I was 2% off. My friend went and saw it though, and she sent me tons of pictures :)

[@mimicoffey1393]

Your friend is sooo lucky I live so far from NY 😢

[@blainevanity6]

I would love it if she wrote a book.

[@j.j.225]

So much adoration and admiration for Taylor. Really rooting for her for that Tony. We believe in you, girl! ❤️

[@bookdragon3467]

she is honestly adorable. i look up to her so much!

[@happyface-]

HOLY BALLS! I didn’t know Taylor was from a small town in Missouri! I’M FROM A SMALL TOWN IN MISSOURI

[@internalscreaming7566]

Happy Face IM FROM A VERY SMALL TOWN IN MISSOURI I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK WHEN SHE SAID THAT

[@lemonmiranda4233]

8:08 wow literally yesterday I was listening to Kelli O’Hara in Bridges of Madison County while driving and thinking the exact same thing. Kind of inspiring

Taylor Louderman is remarkable in Mean Girls.

[@emmaphillips5639]

When she said Apex Predator I’m like ooooooo that’s my song bro cuz it’s my fav. 💖💘🤞🏻

[@chatloaves]

Fantastic interviewer.

[@natalieschroeder7591]

I LOVE TAYLOR SOOO much

[@nellfernald4597]

Taylor: I have to find the mean part of me to really play the role Me: wow that mean part is probably very, very deep

[@kaleyyyyyyy9761]

When she said we do this 8 times a week.. *I got Beetlejuice vibes*

[@angelikajoy5673]

literally every musical does shows 8 times a week

[@kaleyyyyyyy9761]

Angelika Joy I know smh I just got Beetlejuice vibes because in the song “The whole being dead thing” he said I do this bullsh*t 8 times a week

[@bigmanoncanpus]

MY NAME IS REGINA GEORGE AND I AM A MASSIVE DEAL

[@andreia5764]

I SAW TAYLOR AND I BROKE MY THUMB CLICKING THE VIDEO

[@limoreshakar6686]

Tony for Taylor !

[@ThatOneguy-dl3rj]

Came from the same small town as me. Go tay

[@jesuisgemma]

yes girlie

[@yee-raplantar-maximoff4318]

Regina is just Evil Glinda. I love it

[@Annesglitter]

*SHE IS A MASSIVE DEAL, MAN!!!*

[@caseymentch5946]

She sorta kinda looks like Anna Kendrick?? Both beautiful 😻

[@Blanca1205]

She had a small, but pretty unforgettable role in s02e13 of The Good Fight.

[@killerbees312]

Prior to "Mean Girls", she was best known for playing Campbell in Lin-Manuel's "Bring it On." Her best known tv role was as Wendy in "Peter Pan." Incredibly, you could never guess that it's the same girl playing Regina in "Mean Girls", because she's a phenomenal character actress. In "Bring it On", you could see her dance talent on full display, and she performed acrobatic stunts. She's so talented that she belongs in Hollywood and needs to work on both coasts.

[@seignee]

I FRICKING LOVE YOU

[@princeorii7815]

I said Regina reminds me of Galinda

[@killerbees312]

Yeah, but if you ask Taylor who she'd rather play, it's definitely Elphaba.

[@supernovahhcos]

dude i didnt know taylor was from Missouri!! Specifically STL area-! (Or near it) cuz uh HEY SAME

[@solcarlosofficial]

is there any difference between the DC show and the broadway?

[@j.f.l.bousquet1998]

Changes were made. They changed jokes, added new ones, changed dialogues and 5 songs are different or completely new. They made some changes to develop Cady and Regina characters and make their motivations more easy to understand to people who hasn't watched the movie.

[@IHARumor]

Yeah, the DC version actually had a lot more quotes from the movie, but on Broadway they deleted or changed a lot of those (for example, at the end of Sexy, Karen originally said "I'm a sexy mouse, duh" like in the movie. Now she doesn't say "duh" anymore). The biggest changes song-wise are the first song Cady sings (it was originally a song called Wild Life but they scrapped that whole song and replaced it with It Roars), Someone gets Hurt (it originally had a different tone and different lyrics), Fearless (which had a lot of it's lyrics changed, it was originally callled Justice), the song when Cady becomes the new Queen Bee (originally Cady sang a song called Bossed Up which was basically her enjoying being mean, which was replaced by Stop sung by Damian), the song Mrs George sings (she originally had a whole different song but they scrapped that and instead included her in the What's Wrong with Me reprise) and the final song (it was another song called You Can Sit With Us and was replaced by I See Stars). I believe A Cautionary Tale and More is Always Better were also slightly changed.

[@samisntalesbian2349]

RN94 KERRY BUTLER HAD A SONG?!?!

[@IHARumor]

Sam J Yes, I read somewhere that they tried very hard to include a song for Kerry Butler in the Broadway version, which makes sense because hello she's freaking Kerry Butler, but in the end any song they wrote for either Mrs George or Mrs Heron ended up slowing down the pace of the show, which I can also understand.

[@solcarlosofficial]

RN94 I saw the show at broadway and really liked it but I thought many cool quotes were left out. Was there a song moment you liked Better on the DC version compared the broadway version? I wasn’t a fan of the song fearless and it roars. And like I don’t get why getting rid of the “duh” Btw I made a detailed review on my channel if you want to watch that and share your opinion.

[@marissanicole7207]

urinetown.. yes. 🥺💝👏🏼

[@jbchillin3607]

Idk if it’s only me but on the poster Regina looks like Ashley Tisdale (Sharpay from High School Musical, Candace from Phineas and Ferb, Maddie from Suite Life of Zack and Cody

[@mariajosefenton3728]

This just makes me so proud of the theater community, there is not even a drop of toxicity

[@aubbrey]

The fact that I went to school with her sisters is absolutely absurd 💀

[@lu-cp8nw]

Anyone notice that Mean Girls spells out Regina

[@neruneru9713]

What the... O_o

[@neruneru9713]

It spells M S R E G I N A .... WHAT THE HELL.

[@space.404]

Regina (MLS)
