Mean Girls Announced for Milton Keynes Theatre!

Meet The Plastics – Regina, Gretchen and Karen. They rule North Shore High and won’t hesitate to take down anyone who stands in their way. Home-schooled Cady Heron may believe she’s ready for the social jungle thanks to her zoologist parents, but high school proves to be an entirely different kind of wild. When Cady hatches a plan to topple Regina’s reign, she soon discovers that taking on the queen bee comes with serious consequences. Expect iconic characters, razor-sharp humour and unforgettable songs.
