For Mean Girls fans, this is so fetch: the film’s musical adaptation, which ran for almost two years on Broadway, is to be staged in London next summer.
The musical, now on its second North American tour, will open at the Savoy theatre in June. It has a book by Tina Fey (who co-wrote the screenplay for the 2004 teen comedy), is composed by Jeff Richmond, has lyrics by Nell Benjamin and is directed by Casey Nicholaw (who is also the choreographer). Casting for the musical, in which home-educated Cady Heron struggles to fit in with the intimidating clique of “Plastics” at her new high school, is yet to be announced.
