The hit West End musical Mean Girls is heading on a full UK and Ireland tour in 2026 that will start here in Manchester. The award-winning show brings the story of the iconic 2004 Mean Girls movie to life on the stage in an all-singing and dancing extravaganza.<\/p>\n

Producers Lorne Michaels, Crossroads Live and Sonia Friedman Productions have today announced further details of the new tour which will open at Manchester Opera House<\/a> on 23 February 2026.<\/p>\n

It will then head out to venues across the UK and Ireland including Blackpool’s Winter Gardens, Liverpool Empire,Sunderland Empire and Newcastle’s Theatre Royal, running through until the end of January 2027.<\/p>\n

Dates have been announced today, with news of the “on sale” dates to buy tickets expected to be announced soon.<\/p>\n

The show follows “The Plastics” – Regina, Gretchen and Karen who rule North Shore High and will burn anyone who gets in their way.<\/p>\n

Home-schooled Cady Heron, the character famously played by Lindsay Lohan in the movie, 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.<\/p>\n

When Cady devises a plan to end Regina\u2019s reign, she learns the hard way that you can\u2019t cross a queen bee without getting stung. Theatre-goers are told to “expect iconic characters, razor-sharp wit, and killer songs” in the show.<\/p>\n

Mean Girls the musical had its first West End performance at the Savoy Theatre on 5 June 2024, where it was seen by over 330,000 people and played until 8 June 2025. It took home the coveted \u2018Best New Musical\u2019 award at the 2025 WhatsOnStage Awards.<\/p>\n
