On weekends, the Albuquerque Little Theatre wears pink.

鈥淢ean Girls: The Musical,鈥� the first show of ALT鈥檚 2026-27 season, opens Friday, Aug. 28, and runs through Sunday, Sept. 13.

Kyra Sprague, who plays Cady Heron, said she was surprised when she was cast. Despite loving the role, she didn鈥檛 see much of herself in Cady at first.

鈥淎fter getting more familiar with the character, there are so many similarities there that I鈥檝e been able to work in,鈥� Sprague said, 鈥渁nd it鈥檚 been really fun鈥�

She saw the role as a challenge because it feels like Cady herself plays multiple people.

鈥淔iguring out how to be naive and like a sponge for intel at the beginning, and then taking on more of Regina George鈥檚 character traits through the middle, and then finding that resolution at the end seemed really exciting,鈥� Sprague said.

Sprague moved to New Mexico from Minnesota in middle school and said she understood the culture shock and challenge to fit in as a teen that Cady faces. She drew on her experience in bringing Cady to life.

鈥淵ou have to see the world from other people鈥檚 point of view at the beginning before you develop your own understanding of social dynamics and how to involve your own experiences and values in how you navigate,鈥� Sprague said.

Costuming changes also show how Cady evolves as a character.

鈥淐ady gets so many different types of costumes throughout the show,鈥� Sprague said. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 been really exciting to be like, 鈥榃ell, how does she walk in these high heels versus how she walks in her tennis shoes?鈥欌��

The music also helps the cast dive deeper into many of the characters, both individually and in their relationships, she said, adding not only to the social dynamics but also to the overall drama.

鈥淲hen you dip into a song, like all of the dynamics kind of get heightened, I think, between characters,鈥� she said.

Music director Mary Brzezinski said she loves how beautifully composed 鈥淢ean Girls鈥� is. It鈥檚 what initially drew her to it.

鈥淚 really love the score and how it was made, because it does have all these little through lines of just the texture and how people鈥檚 relationships change,鈥� Brzezinski said.

The journey is told through the music, she said.

In the beginning, Cady is very isolated and has a lot more solos, then she meets Janis and Damian. Brzezinski said Cady and Janis begin singing together, showing their friendship blossoming. As Cady becomes more part of the community, she鈥檚 in bigger numbers with harmonies and larger ensembles.

The pop music element, she said, pays homage to the original movie and gives it a 2000s feel. She said it makes the ensemble very important to the storytelling.

鈥淭he ensemble adds so much flavor to every piece,鈥� Brzezinski said. 鈥淭hey are the glue that holds this whole story together, because without the school, they wouldn鈥檛 have a community to make the story happen.鈥�

While the costuming and music fit the nostalgia of the original film, Sprague said the stage adaptation is set in modern times, and social media plays a large role.

鈥淲e can see how the social dynamics were already complex in the original movie, but that was before they worked in TikTok and live streaming and all of those things to where your embarrassing moments land on the internet,鈥� Sprague said.

As a fan of the original movie, Sprague said, it feels good to bring a more modern rendition to the stage, with messages about being yourself and internet safety, and the trademark 鈥淢ean Girls鈥� humor.

鈥淚 think it鈥檚 really natural the way that they鈥檝e built in some of those lessons and being able to talk about it from the current lens is nice 鈥� (keeping) the humor and the nostalgia of that movie alive still,鈥� Sprague said.
