Mean Girls Announce Tour

Mean Girls Announce Tour

02-07-25

The Plastics are heading out on the road. After a hit West End run and a WhatsOnStage Award win, Mean Girls the Musical will tour the UK and Ireland from February 2026 to January 2027, starting at the Manchester Opera House.

Based on the 2004 cult comedy film written by Tina Fey, Mean Girls has become a modern musical theatre hit in its own right. Packed with razor-sharp one-liners, ferocious choreography and a truly fetch pop score, the show follows home-schooled teen Cady Heron as she navigates the brutal social jungle of North Shore High. Her mission to take down Queen Bee Regina George starts as harmless fun, but things escalate fast, and Cady soon finds out that high school politics are far more savage than the African savannah.

The musical features a book by Tina Fey, music by Jeff Richmond and lyrics by Nell Benjamin. Direction and choreography come from Broadway favourite Casey Nicholaw (The Book of Mormon, Aladdin). Scenic design is by Scott Pask, with costume design by Katrina Lindsay, lighting by Kenneth Posner, and sound by Brian Ronan.

After its West End debut at the Savoy Theatre in June 2024, the show played to over 330,000 audience members and wrapped in June 2025. It also recently returned to screens with a brand new film version, a musical twist on the original, released by Paramount in 2024.

Casting for the tour is still to be announced, but expect all the iconic characters, big numbers and teen drama fans know and love. So mark your calendars. Because in 2026, you can’t sit with them… unless you book early.
