'School Girls' Opens on Broadway With a 'Mean Girls' Edge
Original: ‘School Girls’ Review: A Broadway Glow-Up for a ‘Mean Girls’ Comedy
Jocelyn Bioh's comedy 'School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play' has arrived on Broadway, and a New York Times review frames the production as a polished Broadway upgrade of the show's earlier, better-known high school comedy formula. Set at a Ghanaian boarding school, the play blends teen rivalry comedy with sharper questions about colorism and beauty standards, and reviewers are highlighting its transition from off-Broadway success to the main stage.
Why now: The play's Broadway opening and fresh reviews are drawing attention to its take on the teen comedy genre.
