What you might not get from the trailer is this new iteration of the adventures of Cady, Janis, Damian and ‘The Plastics’ Regina, Gretchen and Karen, transforms the classic teen comedy into a musical.

They seem have skipped that part in the trailer.

Avantika Vandanapu plays Karen, while Bebe Wood take son the role of Gretchen. Wood has previously appeared in The New Normal, The Real O’Neals and Love Victor.
