So, you’re more likely to hold on to those angry feelings for a longer period of time, and feel comfortable with that. The human brain doesn’t stop developing until age 25.
Also, when you’re a teenager and something you experience a trauma, you’re not ready to let go of that, because of all the things that are going on in your body and going on in your brain. I love the character of Janice and what she’s evolved into for the musical adaptation, because she’s really one of the only female characters I’ve ever encountered in musical theater that’s shameless about her anger. Everyone’s lying to each other, and stabbing each other in the back, and the one character we know is being truthful to herself is this one, and she kind of lays it out for everybody. It’s in that chunk of the show where you really are ready for somebody to make a healing moment, or a declaration about how they really feel. That’s kind of where it came from, is for her to stand up in front of everybody and say what her true beliefs are. And, because, it felt like the person in our show who was so honest about this, and in true it needed to be Janice’s character, Barrett’s character over here. And, suddenly we realized that the end of this moment that the show needs now to like at least say a message, or to try to do a little healing gesture towards the show. So in our show, we’re just built to this big fight. Then Erica, or Katie’s characters come in and it’s built and built until there’re finally fights in the hallway, right? Hair pulled. And, it’s been building and these fights between Regina and the plastics. It’s happening in the second act, and it’s after all the tensions and relationship aggression has been going on between all these girls.
