Mean Girls | West End footage and backstage interviews
Recently we sat down with the West End cast of Mean Girls during previews at the Savoy Theatre and captured some content of the show itself.
Based on the much-loved Lindsay Lohan-led flick about a girl who moves back to the US where she realises just how savage high school can be, the stage musical was first seen in Washington in 2017 before a Broadway transfer in 2018.
It’s penned by Tina Fey, with music by Jeff Richmond and lyrics by Nell Benjamin. Featuring many of the original film’s much-loved quotes, it has songs including “Meet the Plastics”, “Apex Predator” and “Revenge Party”. The stage show is directed by Casey Nicholaw (The Book of Mormon, Aladdin).
Starring in the West End are Charlie Burn (Les Misérables) as Cady, Georgina Castle (Dirty Dancing) as Regina, Elèna Gyasi (Six) as Gretchen, Grace Mouat (The Great British Bake Off Musical) as Karen, Elena Skye (We Will Rock You) as Janis and Tom Xander (The Book of Mormon) as Damian.
Daniel Bravo takes on the role of Aaron Samuels, with Lucca Chadwick-Patel as Kevin Ganatra, Ako Mitchell as North Shore Principal Mr Duvall, while Ms Norbury - the role originated in the 2004 film by its creator Fey - is played by Zoë Rainey, who also plays the roles of Mrs George and Ms Heron.
They are joined by Tia Antoine-Charles, Georgia Arron, Liam Buckland, Shonah Buwu, Baylie Carson, Freddie Clements, Siobhan Diffin, Clíona Flynn, Fergie Fraser, Angus Good, Jenny Huxley-Golden, Holly Liburd, Corey Mitchell, Mervin Noronha, Aharon Rayner, Trézel Sergeant, Josh Singleton, Annie Southall, Lillia Squires, Tommy Wade-Smith and Holly Willock.
Mean Girls is currently booking through to 16 February 2025.

Anyone from WSC? 🔥🔥🔥
Went to the show on the 11th of June and was absolutely blown away! You guys ROCKED IT!
So fetch
Are they rushing to go catch the 4:50 to Paddington?
Sam Tutty is the tastiest.
AAAA ITS SO GOOD, SEEING IT AGAIN IN JULY EEEEEKK
This is so emotional! All those young girls being empowered and empowering eachother in such an important historical site- actually sobbing 😭🫶🫶🫶
Who Are "They" ? I Hope "They" was a Doctor. Cortisol (Predni) is a prescription drug ....using under strictly surveillance. Ohohoh Mr Doyle😮. Be careful. We need you as an outstanding vocalist 😊
I doubt Barbra Streisand or Gelnn Close would be shitting themselves .
Goosebumps 🪿 I hope that this is as good as it sounds.
HANNAH!!!!!!OML SHE SHE SHOULD ACTUALLY BE IN IT!
Jack Wolfe = instant click
Agreed
All of these awesome people are insanely talented, I'm beyond thrilled to see them bring the show to more places :)
I love this musical, I'm delighted that it's receiving a West End Transfer.
Is this based off the Greek Hercules story?
Shit casting
Grazie Grazie Grazie Grazie
Can't wait for September! ❤❤❤❤
just saw this cast and it was incredible!
What an exciting team and show. This is EXACTLY what a British audience NEEDS to experience🎭🎭🎭
Why blacks again??? Egyptians were NOT subsaharans. Stop rewriting our History. It is a crime.
Those accents were supposed to be Midwestern 🥴
And back yet again and I want to just stand up and clap and cheer ( but I think my neighbors might think I am insane! ) THANK YOU FROM ACROSS THE POND
Bradley Jaden is SOOOOOO talented, wish I had his voice 😭
Although I haven't seen Eddie Redmayne's emcee, I did see him perform on the Tonys. I know this show cold since I directed a production back in 2010. I could talk at length about the iconic performance of Alan Cummings in this role. He physicalized a power and a control over the entire proceedings inside the Kit Kat Club. For me, however, Redmayne is closer in line to Joel Gray's interpretation, which speaks to the grotesque and the dangerous, which this show can easily handle. It is set in a time of the grotesque and the dangerous. It's a world of total manipulation and I would assume that the recent revival exposes that manipulation.
Harmonies are absolutely spot on. Harmonies can make or break a song, but Carrie smashes it out the park again, no problemo 😉👍
This collaboration should be available in Spotify!
Okay guys I need help because at 3:15 does one of them (Robert I think) switch up to falsetto and go high? Because I hear all the belting/mix but I also hear an even higher note??? Someone tell me I’m not crazy😂
Lots of singers
Who are the singers, the woman and the man?
Why can't there be a show in Ireland? :(
Wow
flemings verse is my favourite bit in any mincemeat song its so fire
Saw this at the Barbican and I loved it so much that I have booked up for us to see it again in August. Brilliant cast, brilliant acting and superb singing. Wunderbar!
Anyone else see that the bag in the back is called "vox"?
I seen her 25 years ago gorgeous then still fcuking gorgeous
See you Saturday afternoon!
Wow!!!
John Owen-Jones,Wow
What does dress rehearsal mean?
Help me doctor and get me out of this time, out of the 50s back to 1985, all I wanted to do, was playing my guitar 🎸 and sing, so take me away use your mind🧠. You just promise me I’ll be back in tiiiiimmme. get back in time. Don’t bet your future, one roll of the dice🎲, better remember lightning never strikes twice⚡️ when you drive 88, don’t wanna be late again we know there’s a way you your mind🧠 you gotta just promise me I’ll be back in tiiiiiimmme gotta get back in time. Gotta get back in time. all I wanted to do was play my guitar 🎸 and sing. So take me away use your mind🧠 you just gotta promise me I’ll be back in time back in time. Gotta get back in time. You just promise me I’ll be back in time.
Producer of the song: hey can you guys give me ideas for if we use back in time but the POV is it’s a version where it’s when Marty is in 1955 Michael J Fox: yeah. *sings this song

I saw Stephanie in both 'Wicked' and 'Into the Woods'. She was simply fantastic in both shows. I'm glad that London audiences will now see her wonderful acting and hear her incredible voice.
Why does it happen at 2.22am?
I will be seeing Kiss Me Kate on Thursday 25th July
I saw Shaq playing Hamilton a few nights ago!
