Tina Fey’s ‘Mean Girls’ Musical to Start in Washington D.C. on October 31st

The Mean Girls musical is indeed happening as adapted by the original screenwriter, Tina Fey. The first run will happen at Washington D.C.’s National Theatre from October 31st through December 3rd.

It’s almost as if Tina Fey wants to make sure that she, on Halloween, can bother the White House, if she so wishes, in spirit.

Also, take note they haven’t found their lead who would play the role that Lindsay Lohan so famously played in the original film, but we’re guessing that Lohan isn’t in any sort of talks for the part.

Funny or Die is getting very serious about their content in this election year.

David Litt was not only President Barack Obama’s speech writer, but acted as a lead writer at the last four of Obama’s hit White House Correspondents Association Dinner performances where people consistently were amazed of how funny Obama was (sometimes, more so than the host who is actually a comedian).

So, being one of the lead creatives in heading writing and production at Funny or Die’s Washington D.C. offices is a good move on Funny or Die’s part.

Just like they’re close to the action here in Hollywood, Funny or Die wants to be close to the action on the political side of things.

As they make a good deal of political and social satire, especially during election years, Funny or Die has brought White House staffer Brad Jenkins to head their brand new office in Washington D.C.

So, get ready for some more videos digging at or cleverly supporting legislation, political scandals, debates, and more.

During his administration, President Barack Obama has proven himself to be quite the comedian. He has shined every year at The White House Correspondents Dinner, did one great episode of Between Two Ferns, slow jammed the news with Jimmy Fallon, and he, just last night, has done The Colbert Report’s The Word segment as The Decree and absolutely delivered.

Watch Obama take Colbert’s host chair for a spin, then all three parts of his interview with Stephen and you’ll see why he might be U.S. History’s funniest Commander-In-Chief.
