Mean Girls Cast: Where Are They Now?

With chatter of a Mean Girls musical in the works, we began to wonder what the original cast is up to these days. Click through to see what your favorites are up to!

She played the infamous popular girl, but Rachel’s talents were much more than fetch. Since her queen bee moment, Rachel has gone on to solve crimes in Sherlock Holmes and be swept off her feet by Channing Tatum in The Vow. No matter how brightly her star shines now, Rachel would have no problem reviving her role as Regina. When asked her thoughts about a musical, Miss McAdams shared, “Sure. Yeah, why not? But I don't think my character – if I played Regina again – something tells me that she probably wasn't a good singer."

Arguably Lindsay’s best role to date, the actress stole our hearts as new girl turned queen bee Cady Heron. Since Mean Girls’ 2004 release, Lindsay has definitely kept our attention – but for all the wrong reasons. The troubled starlet, who once made a reported $7 million per movie, has found it hard to reclaim her star power. Her attempt at a comeback, Liz & Dick, was a flop with critics and viewers. Now, still dealing with legal woes, LiLo’s lawyer just dropped her as a client. Maybe a reprisal of her Mean Girls role could give her one more chance at a true comeback!

Lacey, who played plastic Gretchen Weiners, now lends her talent to animated projects like Young Justice, Robot Chicken and Generator Rex. Although she’s had fun making her voice heard in cartoons, Lacey has noticeably missed the Channing Tatum train a few times. Fun fact: Former plastics Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried have both starred opposite Mr. Tatum, in the films The Vow and Dear John, respectively. Hopefully Lacey’s turn is soon!

It actually is really hard to believe that this A-list actress once played Regina George’s ditzy sidekick, Karen Smith. Now a bona fide star who has received praise for her work in the Academy Award-nominated Les Misérables, Amanda’s career is light years away from her Mean Girls peers. It’s no secret the girl can sing, so we would only be so lucky if she showed off her vocal chops in a stage version of the cult classic.

Did you know that Homeland's Mike Farber is the same guy who played Shane in Mean Girls? We couldn't believe it, either! It's been almost ten years since Mean Girls’ release and this actor has come such a long way. From landing a role in everyone’s favorite teen flick to playing a major role on everyone’s current TV obsession, Diego's doing great!

He was lucky enough to play the part of Lindsay Lohan’s dad, but now the actor has found a home on ABC’s The Middle playing the role of dad once more. We wonder if he’s on board with the idea of a Mean Girls musical? We can’t imagine someone who wouldn’t be!

She played the part of fun mom Mrs. George, but now, Amy is a fun mom in real life, too! The SNL alumna is the proud parent of sons Archie, 4, and Abel, 2. In addition to being a full-time mom, Amy stars in the comedy series Parks and Recreation and is penning a new memoir which will be “an illustrated, non-linear diary full of humor and honesty and brimming with true stories, fictional anecdotes and life lessons.” She might be too busy to become Mrs. George again, but no need to worry! Tina Fey recently shared she could see Mariah Carey play that part best in the musical version.

He played peacemaker high school principal Mr. Duvall and has already reprised the role in 2011’s Mean Girls 2. Hopefully, Tim would be willing to do bring Duvall back to life for a third time if the show makes it to Broadway! Besides Mean Girls’ second installment, the actor has kept busy with plenty of projects including stints on 30 Rock and Suburgatory. Most recently, he finished filming Grown Ups 2, a follow-up to his 2010 comedy with Adam Sandler.

Since playing LiLo’s mom in Mean Girls, the former SNL cast member has found steady work as Sheila Shay on ABC’s Suburgatory and other movie projects. Hopefully she will be able to be a part of the Mean Girls musical. In fact, she already has the experience! In 2005, she starred in Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical. She also played Elphaba Thropp in the Broadway hit Wicked!

He played Janis Ian’s flamboyant sidekick, Damian, in Mean Girls. Since then, the actor has focused his talent on indie projects and short films like Ring! Ring! Ring! and Playing With Dolls. Daniel has theater experience under his belt, so he’d be the perfect choice to reprise his role on stage!

She played the odd girl out as quirky Janis Ian. Now, the actress has ditched the heavy eyeliner and all black outfits to play parts in shows like New Girl and in movies like Bachelorette. Since her latest project, Party Down, has wrapped filming, maybe Lizzy can make time in her schedule to bring Janis’ sass back to the stage!

Most of us had a minor—if not major—crush on Aaron Samuels. Jonathan, who who played the super-charming character and Cady's dream guy, has since starred in other teen flicks including Cheaper By the Dozen 2 and Lovewrecked with Amanda Bynes. Currently, he has a few independent film projects in post-production. If we're lucky, he’ll have us swooning again in Mean Girls: The Musical!

Last, but CERTAINLY not least. It's no surprise that this funny lady is the brains behind the genius of Mean Girls. The comedienne was the first to announce the beginning workings of a musical adaptation. "I'm trying to develop it with my husband, who does all the music for 30 Rock. And I think Paramount's on board," she said at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Jan. 27. Now that her 30 Rock run is done, she can make the musical her focus. Wouldn’t Oct. 3 be a great premiere date? Fingers crossed!
