Now on sale: Mean Girls at the West End’s Savoy Theatre in London

Tickets to Mean Girls are now on sale, for the big Broadway musical’s UK premiere at the Savoy Theatre in London.

Produced by West End and Broadway impresario Sonia Friedman (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, The Book of Mormon), the show will open at the Savoy Theatre in June 2024.

Mean Girls opened on Broadway to fabulous reviews in 2018, and its the original Broadway production that is finally coming to London, directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw (Disney’s Aladdin, The Book of Mormon) with music by Jeff Richmond (30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), lyrics by Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde), and a book by the films screenwriter Tina Fey (30 Rock).

The show is based on Tina Fey’s much-loved 2004 film starring Lindsay Lohan, and is the story of a young girl who moves from the plains of Africa to a suburban high school in Illinois America; and it soon becomes clear that Africa hasn’t nearly prepared her for the fierce and vicious manoeuvres of the popular girls in an American High School!

Tina Fey’s hilarious and relatable portrayal of high school life, and her whip-smart satire, iconic catchphrases, and unforgettable characters, make the stage show just as much fun as the movie.

Mean Girls is playing at the Savoy Theatre in London from 5 June to 27 October 2024.
