Mean Girls the musical brings comedic movie to life at Denver Center for the Performing Arts
One of the most popular comedies from the early 2000s is coming to life on stage at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts this week. "Mean Girls," the musical, begins a one-week stay at the Buell Theatre starting Feb. 25. "It is so timeless," said Katie Yoemans, an actress in the production. Yoemans and Kabir Ghandi both joined the cast of Mean Girls at the end of 2024. Both will be among the many talented singers and dancers who will be taking the stage at the Buell Theatre. "It is kind of a cult classic for sure with the iconic movie. This musical adaptation is so fun," Ghandi told CBS News Colorado's Dillon Thomas. "It is all of your favorite characters and crazy moments, with a little music added in there." Both Yoemans and Ghandi said they were thrilled to bring the production to the DCPA, noting it is a fun show for anyone who has ever attended high school, no matter their age today. "It is just so gosh-darn relatable. No matter where you are in life, if you are in high school you will definitely relate to what is going on," Ghandi said. "But, all of us have been to high school and know trials and tribulations." "Audiences should expect a really fun night. A lot of laughing, a lot of jokes. It is silly and lighthearted. But, there are messages about friendship, empowerment, and being a good friend," Yoemans said. Tickets to Mean Girls at the . CBS Colorado is a proud partner of the DCPA.

Mean Girls musical cast prepares for visit to Denver, demonstrates popular dance from show
For one week only, the cast of Mean Girls the musical will be playing at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. The musical will take the stage at the Buell Theatre starting Feb. 25. Katie Yoemans and Kabir Ghandi are two of the talented performers who are on tour with the production. Before they arrived in Denver for their stay they met up with CBS News Colorado's Dillon Thomas at the Mathnasium in Fort Collins. The show also plays into the idea of "mathletes," much like the original film from 2004, setting up the Mathnasium as the perfect place to meet up with Thomas. "We are so happy to be playing these really fun characters in a super high energy beloved show," Yoemans said. "The biggest addition from the original movie to our musical is the great dancing and singing. It does a good job at giving you what you love but giving it that big Broadway feel," Ghandi said. Both Ghandi and Yoemans joined the musical tour in November of 2024 and have already toured to places like Mexico, and Alaska and from coast to coast of the lower 48 states. However, they did not have much time to learn every step of the show before being put on stage. "Learning on the road was definitely a new challenge," Yoemans said. "I think we learned the whole show within a week," Ghandi said. The duo gave Thomas a crash course lesson on how to do one of the popular dances from the production, which you can see by watching the video attached to this report. Both Ghandi and Yoemans said the show is a great time for people of all generations. "It is a good time for the family, it is a good laugh," Ghandi said. Tickets to Mean Girls at the .
