Fans of the iconic Mean Girls franchise might be in for a disappointment with the new musical film adaptation. Reports confirm that one of the most beloved songs from the Broadway show has been axed from the movie.
Which Song Didn’t Make the Cut?
The omitted track is "It Roars", the opening number performed by protagonist Cady Heron. The song, which sets the stage for her move from Africa to suburban Illinois, was a standout moment in the stage production.
Why Was It Removed?
While no official statement has been released, insiders suggest the decision was made to streamline the film’s runtime and focus on more dynamic musical sequences. Some fans speculate that the song’s slower tempo might not have translated as effectively to the big screen.
Fan Reactions
Social media has been buzzing with mixed reactions. While some fans are devastated, others understand the creative choices behind the edit. One Twitter user wrote, "No 'It Roars'? That’s not fetch!", while another commented, "If it makes the rest of the movie stronger, I’m okay with it."
What’s Still Included?
Thankfully, other fan favourites like "Revenge Party" and "World Burn" remain intact. The film also introduces new arrangements and visuals to keep the musical numbers fresh.
Will the missing song be a deal-breaker for fans? Only time will tell when the film hits cinemas.
