6 Fetchest Mean Girls Events in Dallas This Week

Perhaps it’s Tina Fey’s gift for satire. Or the universality of the high-school experience and its pressures to fit in. Or the chemistry of the cast. Whatever it is, the teen comedy Mean Girls has proven itself to be a cultural phenomenon with enduring appeal. So much so that this Friday, Jan. 12, just 20 years after the original’s release, a highly anticipated musical remake of the flick is hitting theaters nationwide.

The excitement is palpable in Dallas. Last weekend, The Rose Room on Cedar Springs Road even put on a Mean Girls drag show with guest appearances from all of the Plastics. If hearing that is giving you a bad case of FOMO, don't stress. There are lots more special events and screenings happening in Dallas this week, and whether you want to go all-out, re-experience the original or just can’t get enough Mean Girls, there’s something for everyone.

Mean Girls Skate Night
6–8 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 10
Galleria Dallas Ice Skating Rink
13350 Dallas Parkway
$12 admission; $5 skate rental

On the heels of other themed events such as its recent Taylor Swift skate night, Galleria Dallas is hosting a Mean Girls-themed fete this Wednesday. Wear pink and hit the ice in honor of the new musical’s release. Your ticket includes an evening of skating to a Mean Girls-themed playlist, a raffle ticket and some special, as-yet-unspecified treats.

"On Wednesdays We Wear Pink" Early Access Screening
7 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 10
Cinépolis
Euless, Flower Mound, Keller, McKinney, Victory Park locations
$62

It’s by far the priciest option on this list, but the Mean Girls event at Cinépolis theaters this Wednesday packs a lot in. For your $62 ticket, you’ll get the chance to see the film two days before its wide release, plus two themed cocktails (a hibiscus cooler called “Get in Loser” and a spicy strawberry margarita, “You Can’t Sit With Us”), a three-course menu of cheese fries, chicken and waffles and cheesecake, and a collector’s enamel pin for the first 75 guests. Mocktail options are also available, and gratuity and tax are included in the ticket price.

Mean Girls Trivia Party
7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 11
Sweet Tooth Hotel
1511 Elm St., No. 100
Free

Turn those hours burning a hole in your Mean Girls DVD into something useful at this free trivia party. There are some pretty great prizes, with first place taking home gift cards to Eddie V’s and Pink Toes Nail Salon, plus Sweet Tooth Hotel tickets and swag. For those not in the know, Sweet Tooth Hotel is an interactive art museum. The party takes place in its cocktail lounge, and it’s free to RSVP, but consider making a full evening of it and buying a $25 general admission ticket so you can also check out the current Dreamland exhibition.

Mean Girls Meetup

EVO Entertainment Prestonwood

Free with purchase of movie ticket

Ladies, this one’s for you. Join a meetup hosted by ElevateHER, a collaborative that’s all about fostering female friendship, networking and generally saying “You can sit with us!” You’ll meet at EVO Entertainment in Addison 20 minutes before the screening to do some light mingling, then find seats in the theater with your new besties. It’s recommended you buy your tickets in advance, as the theater will still be open to the public. The suggested dress code is (what else?) pink.
