It’s Wednesday, however, it won’t just be on Wednesdays that we wear pink, as soon Mean Girls the Musical is heading to Bristol – grool! The musical already hopped across the pond and arrived in London’s West End last year, but now it’s going on a huge tour across the UK and Ireland during 2026 and 2027. Get in loser, we’re going to Bristol Hippodrome!
The stage version of the fantastically plastic, cult noughties film (and pop-culture pioneer), Mean Girls, which came out over 20 years ago (who feels old, now?) will open at Manchester Opera House on February 23, 2026 before touring to venues across the UK and Ireland until the end of January 2027. The smash-hit musical comedy based on the iconic Paramount Pictures film of the same name will stop in Bristol later that year, from Tuesday, September 8 to Saturday, September 12, 2026.
What is the musical about?
Meet The Plastics – Regina, Gretchen and Karen. They rule North Shore High and will burn anyone who gets in their way. Home-schooled Cady Heron may think she knows a thing or two about survival of the fittest thanks to her zoologist parents, but high school is a whole new level of savage. When Cady devises a plan to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a queen bee without getting stung. Expect iconic characters, razor-sharp wit, and killer songs.
The musical Mean Girls has a book by Tina Fey, music and vocal arrangements by Jeff Richmond, lyrics by Nell Benjamin, direction and choreography by Casey Nicholaw, scenic design by Scott Pask, costume design by Katrina Lindsay, lighting design by Kenneth Posner, sound design by Brian Ronan, hair design by Josh Marquette, musical supervision/vocal, dance, incidental and additional music arrangements by Mary-Mitchell Campbell, orchestrations by John Clancy and dance and incidental music arrangements by Glen Kelly.
