I just learned in this headline it was a musical, which opens up a new thought.

I think this is a movie adaptation of the mean girls musical on Broadway, which was an adaptation of the movie.

We've come full circle.

Now we need Broadway show of this one.

The original movie was an adaptation of a book, too.
