Just like the slang term “fetch,” the “Mean Girls” musical never quite ignites in the imagination. No matter how hard the insanely high-energy cast tries to charm in the musical’s recent tour stop in San Jose, you can’t help wishing it was as effortlessly sparkling as the classic 2004 teen movie that made Lindsay Lohan a star. Don’t get me wrong, Tina Fey (forever famed for “30 Rock”) is a national treasure and her book is as razor-sharp as you’d expect from the queen of clever, and there’s oodles of bouncy choreography framing the teenage tribulations of our heroine Cady Heron (Natalie Shaw), who grew up on the African savannah but never confronted the savagery of nature until she moved to the American suburbs, where status rules and her only friends are the artsy outsiders Janis (Alexys Morera) and Damian (Ethan Jih-Cook). Here, she must fight for survival amid the reign of Regina George (Maya Petropoulos), the leader of the Plastics, and her mindless minions, the low self-esteem BFF Gretchen (Kristen Amanda Smith) and the gleefully dopey Karen (Maryrose Brendel). Director/choreographer Casey Nicholaw (“The Book of Mormon”) gives the musical an adorably frenetic vibe that nails the pulse of our ADHD culture, a society that prizes Instagram-worthiness over authenticity.
