“Mean Girls – The Musical” follows Cady Heron, a teenager who moves from Africa to suburban Illinois and enters public school for the first time.

As Cady attempts to undermine Regina’s reign, she learns valuable lessons about friendship, identity, and the consequences of revenge

The musical, now on at London’s Savoy Theatre, has garnered praise for its witty script by Tina Fey and strong performances. The cast exudes energy and comic timing, particularly Georgina Castle’s portrayal of Regina George and Charlie Burn’s of Cady Heron. The production’s choreography and updated references resonate well with audiences, making it a delightful theatrical experience.

Mrs Doubtfire - Shaftesbury Theatre

Bus & taxi in London

Nearest station: Tottenham Court Road
Booking to: 26th April 2025
Mrs Doubtfire is an uplifting, all age friendly musical, which gives a fresh perspective on the book and the film. It revolves around Daniel Hillard, an unemployed actor who’s going through a divorce, consequently losing custody of his children. And then Daniel sees a way he can spend more time with his children – by becoming their nanny. But while Danny succeeds in having more time with his children, he realises it doesn’t solve his problems. Can his new persona help him develop better parenting skills?
“‘Mrs Doubtfire’ feels like it melds the best of past and present, offering a dose of nostalgia that’s more complicated than Mary Poppins’s spoonful of sugar – but just as sweet” **** Time Out
