HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The Broadway show Mean Girls is now playing at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts.

Among the cast is a local actor who is no stranger to the bright lights of Houston theater.

Be sure to be on the lookout for Armani Brown, a Humphreys School of Musical Theater graduate.

Director Miranda Cornell joined ABC13 with a preview of "The Heart Sellers" coming to Stages in Houston.

"It's so surreal! My whole cast knows about how I feel about my city, Houston. I think Houston is the best city in the nation. And I am so excited to bring the show here," Brown said.

The show is based on the movie Mean Girls and has been adapted to the stage. Brown says he's getting plenty of ticket requests from family and friends.

"I have definitely been asked about getting some comps in, and I try my best to accommodate," laughed Brown.

Mean Girls runs until Feb. 9 at the Hobby Center for Performing Arts.
