Twenty years after the classic comedy film briefly threatened to make Lyndsey Lohan a global icon for the right reasons, Tina Fey’s musical adaptation of her smash ‘Mean Girls’ finally makes it to the West End in 2024. Following the misadventures of Cady Heron, a home-schooled student totally naive to the cliquey ways of the high school she starts at aged 16, the musical version of ‘Mean Girls’ did decent business on Broadway a few years back but then became a victim of the pandemic. General word on the street was that the script was as funny as ever, even if the songs – by Fey’s husband Jeff Richmond and lyricist Nell Benjamin– were not side-splitting in and of themselves. Well it’ll be time to see for yourself in 2024, as ‘Mean Girls’ – which is directed and choreographed by ‘Book of Mormon’ man Casey Nicholaw – transfers to the Savoy.
Casting is TBA.
