Tina Fey has said the Mean Girls musical might happen sooner than we thought

Last we heard, Tina Fey had stated that she would be adapting Mean Girls into a musical for Broadway but had said it was 'years away'. However, on Tuesday evening at the Tribeca Film Festival, things became a little bit clearer. According to Deadline, Ellie Kemper's pregnancy in between shooting seasons of Kimmy Schmidt means that Fey now has the opportunity to work on the project with lyricist Neil Benjamin and composer husband, Jeff Richmond. Exciting. (via WeHeartit) When asked if the adaptation would include social media, Fey responded with the question "The thing is with social media is that it doesn't dramatise well?", which we will take as a strong maybe, leaning towards a no. We can't imagine Cady Heron and Regina George using anything other than 2004-era technology, so Blackberries and pagers will be as far as it may go. (via Giphy)
