Tina Fey's wickedly funny musical adaptation of her own iconic screenplay arrives in the West End at the Savoy Theatre on the Strand, and it is as sharp, irreverent and hilariously quotable as you would hope. Mean Girls the musical expands on the beloved 2004 film with a propulsive new pop score, electric choreography and performances that crackle with comic energy — Cady Heron's journey into the social jungle of North Shore High School has never looked or sounded this good.
The Savoy Theatre's central Strand location is easily reached from Charing Cross or Embankment tube station, making it a straightforward destination from anywhere in London. The show's sharp wit and celebration of female complexity will appeal to fans of Six: The Musical at the Minola Theatre, which similarly turns familiar stories into subversive, energetic entertainment. For equally outrageous comedy, The Book of Mormon at the Prince of Wales Theatre sets an almost impossibly high bar — and fans of fashion-world satire will find plenty of common ground with The Devil Wears Prada, another sharp new musical with a killer female lead.
The songs — written by Jeff Richmond with lyrics by Nell Benjamin — are genuinely great: witty, hummable and packed with the kind of one-liners that have teenagers quoting them weeks later. 'Stupid with Love', 'World Burn' and the ensemble numbers showcase a cast with outstanding comic timing and vocal chops to match. This is a musical that rewards repeated viewings.
Book your Mean Girls London theatre tickets for a girls' night out, a milestone birthday or simply because you deserve a night of pure, joyful comedy. Suitable for ages 12 and above — and frankly essential for anyone who has ever survived secondary school.
