The actor Auli’i Cravalho, who portrayed Janis in the recently released musical Mean Girls film, has reconsidered Tina Fey’s use of a “boss move” on set.
According to Auli’i Cravalho, “Tina Fey speaks really softly on set, which is actually a power move, because everyone leans in and quiets down to listen to her.”
“I thought that was a boss move, and I will be taking that with me,” Cravalho continued. It was wonderful to see powerful ladies.”
Not just the Moana actress complimented Fey’s approach to managing things on set.In the film, Jaquel Spivey, who plays her best friend Damian, said, “Tina told us to be ourselves, to make these characters our own, to have fun, and to trust that we were chosen for a reason.”
The new Mean Girls musical includes Angourie Rice as Cady, Renée Rapp as Regina (reprising her Broadway role), Avantika as Karen and Bebe Wood as Gretchen, along with Spivey and Cravalho.
The film sticks to the same story, with Cady coming from Africa to the United States and learning how the high school operated. Cady then discovers The Plastics, who were portrayed by Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried, and Lacey Chabert in the original film.
