When Cady hatches a plan to dethrone Regina, she discovers firsthand that you don't cross a queen bee without getting stung, and that anyone is just a page away from having their name underlined in Regina’s Burn Book.

Mean Girls The Musical at The Savoy Theatre brings the war of the Plastics to the West End. Book your Mean Girls The Musical West End tickets today, and remember that this time, you CAN sit with us!
Mean Girls the Musical History
The 2004 hit film starring Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams is still in the god tier of teen films 15 years later. The film remains just as popular as Queen Bee Regina George at North Shore High but needed some modern tweaks for the West End stage. This musical adaptation features the same characters and story we know and love, but with a modern twist as it has been updated to fit in with the trends of today.
Teens back in the early noughties were mean but, in this generation, smartphones, social media and teens go hand in hand. Meaning that this Mean Girls West End production is guaranteed to fit in with the social media era.
Mean Girls The Musical is based on Tina Fey's screenplay for the 2004 film of the same name, which, in turn, drew inspiration from Rosalind Wiseman's 2002 book, Queen Bees and Wannabes. The musical made its debut at the National Theatre in Washington, D.C., in October 2017 and later opened on Broadway at the August Wilson Theatre in April 2018. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Broadway production concluded on March 11, 2020.
A film adaptation of Mean Girls The Musical starring Reneé Rapp opened on 12 January 2024. Mean Girls in the West End is just as popular as Broadway, so make sure to book your Mean Girls The Musical tickets as soon as possible!
Why is Mean Girls worth seeing?
- Mean Girls was close to receiving an R rating due to its content. Can you guess why?
- Tina Fey named the character Glen Coco after a real person who was a friend of her brother, which probably caused quite the inconvenience for him.
- Daniel Franzese improvised the famous line, "I want my pink shirt back," which was well-received by Fey, so she decided to keep the film.
- For the musical, Fey had to extensively research modern ways in which girls can be mean to each other because the film was released in 2004…19 years ago.
- The 2023 version of Mean Girls retains the same plot but has been updated to reflect the current times, with most of your favourite lines from the original still included.
- The cafeteria cliques have been altered to fit the present-day context.
- The film incorporates humour related to social media, mobile apps, and the internet.
- Mean Girls The Musical in London is going to be fetchest show that the West End has seen in years.

Savoy Theatre Best Seats
The Savoy Theatre, opened in 1881, and famously was the first public building in the world to be lit by electricity and since then the biggest theatrical stars have lit up the stage with their own electricity, from Nicole Scherzinger in Sunset Boulevard to Sarah Jessica Parker in Plaza Suite. The theatre itself is nestled in the luxurious Savoy Hotel and guests can swim in the hotel swimming pool directly above the stage. If you have the chance to make a splash and see any of the incredible shows at the Savoy Theatre, then read on to find out where the best place to sit is for you.
What are the best seats at the Savoy Theatre?
The Savoy Theatre has three seating blocks: the Stalls, the Dress Circle and the Grand Circle.
The Stalls are a great option for those who want to feel like they are part of the action, but the best views of the stage are in the centre of the Stalls, specifically from rows H to P. However, the back of the Stalls may be obstructed by the overhang of higher tiers.
The Dress Circle is a great place to sit as it offers a panoramic view of the stage. The front rows provide an excellent view, as well as extra legroom. However, the top of the stage may be obstructed in this section.
The Grand Circle is a budget-friendly option that offers a clear view of the stage. However, audiences may find that it is further away from the stage than the other sections. Additionally, there is a safety rail in front of rows F and G, which may slightly restrict the view.

Mean Girls will not return to the Broadway stage after coronavirus
Based on the modern classic film that starred Lindsay Lohan in her prime, Tina Fey's Mean Girls musical will not continue its Broadway run after theatres are permitted to re-open. The hit show saw Gretchen Wieners portrayed by Ashley Park, who was nominated for both a Tony and Drama Desk Award and garnered attention recently for her role as Chinese-Korean nanny Mindy Chen on Netflix's Emily in Paris. Mean Girls is expected to transfer to London's West End, though likely due to COVID-19, no venue or potential opening dates have been confirmed as of yet.
