The just opened Broadway stage musical adaptation of Tina Fay's "Mean Girls" features a talented cast and canny staging, but lacks originality and a genuine emotional core. It is best described as a cotton candy musical, because at the end you realize that there is nothing of substance in it. It is the polar opposite of the Broadway season's best new musical "The Band's Visit" in that "Mean Girls" is busy on its surface but lacks any depth. In contrast, "The Band's Visit" seems quite simple on its surface, but has deep oceans of depth underneath that stays with you long after its curtain falls.
