Mean Girls The Musical In Memphis
Sing along with the Plastics as this cult classic comes to life on stage. Personally I cannot wait to see one of the most quotable films of our era in Broadway form. Get your Orpheum Mean Girls musical tickets right away or we’ll be asking if you even go here.

To mark this auspicious occasion, I Love Memphis and the Orpheum Theatre are teaming up to host a Memphis Cheese Fry Contest. Vote for your favorite cheese fries in town—whichever restaurant wins the most votes has the honor of being served to the cast of Mean Girls while they’re in town.
Voting deadline is Friday, April 22 at noon so VOTE HERE.
