Hit Musical Prepares to Take the Burn Book on the Road Following Critically Acclaimed West End Season
It’s almost time to say goodbye to North Shore High in the West End. The smash-hit musical Mean Girls will complete its West End run at the Savoy Theatre on Sunday 8 June 2025, following a year of pink-clad popularity and glowing reviews. But fear not — a UK tour is set to launch in 2026, with further dates and casting to be announced.
The production opened in London on 5 June 2024, officially premiering on 26 June, and has since been seen by over 350,000 audience members. Based on the iconic 2004 film, the musical is written by Tina Fey, with music by Jeff Richmond and lyrics by Nell Benjamin.
