The cast of the Tony-nominated musical Mean Girls hit the stage for a performance of the song “Apex Predator” on The Today Show on Thursday morning (May 4) in New York City.

In the scene, Janis (Barrett Wilbert Weed) warns Cady (Erika Henningsen) against hanging out with Regina George (Taylor Louderman). Also featured in the number are Kate Rockwell as Karen and Ashley Park as Gretchen.

Tina Fey, who wrote the script for musical, introduced the performance.

Mean Girls is nominated for 12 Tony Awards, including Best Musical and acting nods for Taylor and Ashley.

Tina Fey is surrounded by her Mean Girls on Broadway team while walking the carpet at Variety’s 2018 Power of Women: New York held at Cipriani Wall Street on Friday (April 13) in New York City.

The honoree was joined by the show’s female stars Erika Henningsen (Cady), Taylor Louderman (Regina), Ashley Park (Gretchen), Kate Rockwell (Karen), Barrett Wilbert Weed (Janice), and Kerry Butler (Mrs. Norbury), and the show’s lyricist Nell Benjamin. Another Broadway star in attendance was Frozen‘s Patti Murin.

During her speech, Tina opened up about her vow to get more women in the writer’s room.

“The community of women that I work with have always inspired me to do better. To be the best I can be, if not better,” she said. “I made a vow to myself to not accept that privilege of being the only woman in the room, to make sure I was not a cappuccino machine and to use any power I had to create opportunity for others.”

FYI: Tina is wearing a Gabriela Hearst dress and bag.
