The award-winning Mean Girls arrives at the Winter Gardens Blackpool next August.

Lorne Michaels, Crossroads Live and Sonia Friedman Productions are delighted to announce further details of the 2026/2027 UK and Ireland tour of the award-winning MEAN GIRLS THE MUSICAL! The tour will stop off at the Winter Gardens Blackpool 18-22^nd August 2026 before continuing to venues across the UK and Ireland until the end of January 2027.

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.

MEAN GIRLS, the smash-hit musical comedy based on the iconic Paramount Pictures film of the same name, 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.
