Emily Lane, Vivian Panka, Sophie Pourret and Georgie Buckland will head the cast of Mean Girls The Musical when the show visits New Wimbledon Theatre as part of its 2026/27 UK & Ireland tour.
Lane will star as Cady Heron, with Panka and Regina George, Pourret as Karen Smith and Buckland as Janis Sarkisian. Max Gill will play Damian Hubbard, Karim Zeroual is Kevin Ganatra and Joshua Elmore is Mr Duvall.
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.
