Coming Soon!!!

Mean Girls Broadway Hit Visits NOLA!

It’s happening, y’all! Broadway’s smash-hit Mean Girls is coming to New Orleans on Monday, January 20, 2025, and it’s bringing all the sass, shade, and shenanigans you’ve been missing. Pack your burn books, because the Dr. Rodney R. Lafron Performing Arts Center will be the ultimate destination for theater lovers and Plastics fans alike. Showtime is at 7:00 PM sharp, so don’t be late unless you want to sit in the back and risk missing Regina George’s iconic entrances.

As the marketing director of the Historic Mardi Gras Inn, I’m here to spill all the tea (and maybe a little champagne) about why you absolutely need to make this an extended weekend affair—and why our recently revamped inn is the place to stay for all your Mean Girls and New Orleans escapades.


A Little About Mean Girls—It’s So Fetch

For the uninitiated (or those who’ve been hiding under a rock since 2004), Mean Girls is based on Tina Fey’s cult-classic film of the same name. This hilarious musical follows the story of Cady Heron, a homeschooled teen who moves from Africa to the wild jungle of suburban American high school life. Cue the Plastics: a clique of overly fabulous, viciously exclusive girls led by the ultimate queen bee, Regina George.

The Broadway adaptation takes everything you loved about the movie—burn books, Jingle Bell Rock, “You can’t sit with us!”—and turns it up a notch with original songs, razor-sharp wit, and over-the-top choreography. The show is an absolute scream, blending high school drama with biting social commentary that’s both hilarious and uncomfortably relatable. Trust me, this isn’t just theater—it’s an experience.


Ticket Deets You Need

Tickets for Mean Girls at the Lafron Performing Arts Center are hotter than Glen Coco’s holiday candy cane stash, so grab yours ASAP. Prices start at $45 for balcony seating and go up to $125 for premium orchestra spots. You can snag tickets online at www.nolabroadway.com or at the venue’s box office. Don’t wait too long—because missing this would be, like, so not fetch.


Why Stay at the Historic Mardi Gras Inn?

Let me be clear: If Regina George were visiting New Orleans, she’d stay at the Historic Mardi Gras Inn. Why? Because we’re proudly LGBTQ+ owned and operated, fabulously located just one block from the French Quarter, and fresh off a full head-to-toe renovation. We’re talking gleaming new interiors, charming exteriors, and all the cozy vibes to make your stay as sweet as Karen Smith’s personality.

Not only are we steps away from the French Quarter’s buzzing nightlife, legendary food spots, and live music galore, but we’re also a quick two-minute stroll from one of those iconic streetcar stops. Hop on, and you’re on your way to explore every corner of the city, from the Garden District’s dreamy mansions to Magazine Street’s trendy boutiques.

While we can’t promise you a personal entourage or a Burn Book with your name on it, we can promise clean, affordable accommodations and a warm, welcoming staff who will treat you like royalty (even if you’re more Janis than Regina).


Make It a Weekend to Remember

Here’s the plan: Come for Mean Girls, stay for the magic of New Orleans. The French Quarter is brimming with rowdy adult fun that pairs perfectly with the musical’s sassy vibe. Sip hand-crafted cocktails at a jazz bar, indulge in Creole cuisine that’ll leave you swooning, and dance the night away at one of our fabulous LGBTQ+ clubs. The city is a feast for your senses, and trust me, you’ll want to devour every bite.

Arrive early on Saturday to soak up the sights, catch the show Monday night, and leave Tuesday morning with enough memories (and selfies) to last until the next Broadway tour comes to town. Or stay longer—because let’s be honest, no one does extended weekends better than New Orleans.


Don’t Be a Fool—Book Now!

Whether you’re a Cady, a Regina, or even a Damian (too gay to function!), the Historic Mardi Gras Inn is the perfect home base for your Mean Girls adventure. We’ve got the charm, the location, and the queer flair to make your trip unforgettable. So grab your tickets, pack your pink, and get ready to experience Broadway, Big Easy style.

Remember, in the words of Gretchen Wieners, “You can’t sit with us!”—unless you book early. So what are you waiting for? For information on accommodations call us directly at 504.949.5815 OR 1.800.209.9408. You may also visit us online at historicmardigrasinn.com.

This January 20, join us for a night of Broadway magic, and let’s make your visit to New Orleans so fetch it hurts. 🌈
