Mark Waters' film is considered to have a cult following, whilst many of the phrases in the film are iconic among teens and young adults.
The high-profile team behind the musical are hoping to bring some of this magic to the musical adaptation.
Michaels has talked about the upcoming musical with The New York Times, saying: "There are lots of things you can do better in a musical... the characters are fuller."
Although updated with more modern references, Mean Girls will follow the plot of the movie that provided memorable roles for actresses Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams and Lizzy Caplan.
The storyline follows the teenage Cady, who returns to the US after time abroad and finds herself forced to navigate the various cliques of American high school.
The production has already announced a cast that includes Kerry Butler, who has appeared on Broadway in Hairspray and Little Shop of Horrors, as well as Erika Henningsen who is known for her Broadway role in Les Miserables.
It was announced on Wednesday that Mean Girls will be playing in the August Wilson Theatre, with previews beginning March 12, 2018, and an opening night of April 8, 2018.
