A spokesman said: “Meet The Plastics – Regina, Gretchen and Karen. They rule North Shore High and will burn anyone who gets in their way. Home-schooled Cady Heron may think she knows a thing or two about the survival of the fittest thanks to her zoologist parents, but high school is a whole new level of savage. When Cady devises a plan to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a queen bee without getting stung. Expect iconic characters, razor-sharp wit and killer songs.
“Mean Girls, the smash-hit musical comedy based on the iconic Paramount Pictures film of the same name, had its first West End performance at the Savoy Theatre on June 5 2024, where it was seen by over 330,000 people and played until June 8 2025. Mean Girls recently took home the coveted Best New Musical award at the 2025 WhatsOnStage Awards.
“Mean Girls had its world premiere in 2017 at the National Theatre in Washington, DC and opened on Broadway in April 2018 at the August Wilson Theatre to ecstatic responses where it played to packed houses. The show then went on a hugely successful US tour in 2019 and recently completed a second US tour. In addition, in 2024, Paramount Pictures released a new twist on the fan-favourite film from the comedic mind of Tina Fey with a fresh and fun re-telling of the story featuring sensational musical performances.
