Mean Girls the Musical: A Fetch-Tacular West End Debut You Can't Miss | REVIEW


Mean Girls
Savoy Theatre

Mean Girls in the West End? That's fetch!

After much anticipation, Mean Girls the Musical has sashayed its way onto the West End stage, and it’s nothing short of a fetch-tacular extravaganza! Adapted from the iconic 2004 film penned by Tina Fey, this musical first dazzled Broadway audiences in 2018 and has now graced London with its fabulous presence, bringing all the drama, comedy, and high school hierarchies across the pond.

I first saw and reviewed Mean Girls at the August Wilson Theatre on Broadway in 2018, and I was blown away by the sharp wit, vibrant performances, and infectious energy. Seeing it again on the West End feels like a fabulous homecoming for this beloved show, and I can confidently say that it has lost none of its sparkle and charm in the transition.

For the uninitiated, Mean Girls follows the journey of Cady Heron (played with charm and sincerity by the supremely talented Charlie Burn), a previously homeschooled teenager who moves to the American suburbs from Africa. Navigating the treacherous waters of North Shore High School, she encounters the Plastics, led by the fabulously tyrannical Regina George (Georgina Castle), with her loyal sidekicks Gretchen Wieners (Elèna Gyasi) and Karen Smith (Grace Mouat). With the guidance of her quirky friends Janis Sarkisian (at this performance played by Baylie Carson) and Damian Hubbard (Tom Xander), Cady embarks on a mission to take down Regina, only to find herself transforming into the very thing she swore to destroy.

This vibrant production boasts an amazing cast, blending West End veterans with exciting new talents who are firmly cementing themselves as stars. Aaron Samuels (Daniel Bravo) steals hearts, while Ms Norbury, Ms Heron & Mrs George (Zöe Rainey) bring a delightful double dose of adult hilarity and warmth.

The performances are unanimously nothing short of wonderful. Each actor brings their unique flair, contributing to the high-energy, electrifying atmosphere that permeates the entire show and theatre. The ensemble, in particular, is incredible, delivering dance numbers with precision and enthusiasm that leaps from the stage and feels so exciting to watch. The performances are so captivating that I find myself wanting to return to the show again and again, just to focus on a different performer each time and appreciate their individual contributions to this vibrant production. Charlie Burn is infectiously charming as Cady and provides faultless, pin precise vocals to match. The commanding presence of Georgina Castle as she floats above it all as Regina George is all you could ask for from someone playing this iconic role, plus, Georgina absolutely provides a top theatre moment of the year with her rendition of World Burn. Elèna Gyasi is heartbreakingly desperate to fit in and does so in such a fun but still heartbreaking way, whilst Grace Mouat's Karen is just happy to be there. Grace's performance is laugh out loud funny and I loved her act two song 'I'm Blowing Up' which has been reworked and added back into the show to great effect. Baylie Carson and Tom Xander are the perfect double act as Janis and Damian, again bringing huge doses of humour as well as some of the strongest vocals in the musical. I also loved Lucca Chadwick-Patel as mathlete Kevin Ganatra and Daniel Bravo who brought a real sincerity to Aaron Samuels. I could go on all day about the cast because they're really all fantastic and as I say, every new visit is sure to offer a new layer of enjoyment and discovery, maybe Cady is right and the limit does not exist for how many times you could watch this show!


One of the standout features of this production is designer Scott Pask's ingenious use of screens and projections, which not only bring the hallways of North Shore High to life but also add an immersive, almost cinematic quality to the musical. This dynamic visual approach enhances the storytelling, making scenes pop with vibrancy and energy and allowing for a number of locations without the hassle of in depth scene changes, something which really allows the show to flow and maintain pace.

The West End production has seen some exciting changes from its Broadway counterpart. The creative team, led by director and choreographer Casey Nicholaw, has refined certain scenes and musical numbers to better suit the London audience. There are subtle changes in the dialogue and some new staging that add fresh layers to the beloved story, keeping it as sharp and hilarious as ever. Additionally, the musical's score has been tweaked slightly to enhance its already catchy and memorable tunes.

Let’s be real—Mean Girls the Musical may not be everyone’s cup of tea. If you’re not a fan of cheesy, over-the-top musicals, this might not be your thing. But for those who revel in fun, camp, and excellently performed music wrapped in a big pink bow, this show is pure joy. The musical numbers are infectious, with standout hits like 'Apex Predator', 'Revenge Party', and the empowering 'I’d Rather Be Me', each performed with gusto and flair by the cast.

The show captures the spirit of the original film while adding layers of depth through its songs and performances. It’s a fun, carefree romp that’s perfect for a night out with friends, a date night, or even a solo adventure to bask in its joyous glow. From the moment the curtain rises to the final bow, the audience is taken on a rollercoaster of laughter, nostalgia, and heartfelt moments.

Mean Girls in the West End is a pink-tinted, fabulously fun, spectacle that shouldn’t be missed- grab your tickets now and join the party at North Shore High!

The nine artists in the concert (Nikki Bentley, Sophie Evans, Alice Fearn, Alexia Khadime, Melanie La Barrie, Carl Man, Dianne Pilkington, Liam Tamne, Oliver Tompsett) all starred in Wicked during its first 14 years in London, and two (Khadime, Tamne) are in the current cast of The Prince of Egypt. Schwartz himself will make a special appearance in the program, with further details to be announced.

 

Oops!... I Streamed It Again... premieres 10 Dec at 8pm GMT and is a high-energy concert of favourite classic pop, rock, and musical theatre songs. The concert is performed by five artists who met as part of the original company of the UK musical & Juliet: Jordan Luke Gage, Tim Mahendran, Grace Mouat, Oliver Tompsett, and 2020 Olivier Award Winner Cassidy Janson.

 

Next up is the return of the artists from The Reunion, with an empowering concert of songs by famous girl bands through the decades: Girl Power premieres 17 Dec at 8pm GMT. Expect the tight harmonies and true sisterhood vibes that these artists have come to be known for since they first met as the original West End queens of the musical SIXGirl Power stars Aimie Atkinson, Alexia McIntosh, Grace Mouat, Millie O’Connell, Natalie Paris, Maiya Quansah-Breed and Jarneia Richard-Noel.

 

Finally, the fourth instalment of the Reunited Series arrives on the 21 Dec at 8pm GMT. All I Want For Christmas Is Theatre is a love letter to the tradition of seeing theatre with those you love during the holiday season. More than three dozen top UK theatre artists are lending their talents to this special concert, featuring classic Christmas songs of all styles. Performers from UnlimitedOops!...

Thespie founder Tyler Stoops said, “Watching our first concert, The Reunion, revived my spirits, and hundreds of viewers told us how meaningful it was, how inspired they were, and how much fun they had. So I’m thrilled we can deliver four more concerts for audiences at home around the world, just in time for Christmas. I think all of us are ready for some joy and excitement.

&Juliet, Shaftesbury Theatre | Review


&Juliet
Shaftesbury Theatre 
Reviewed on Wednesday 20th November 2019
★★★

What if Juliet didn't die? And what if the story of reclaiming her life was told through the music of Max Martin, aka the writer and producer of some of the most iconic pop music of the last two decades. Well that's &Juliet, a wild, sparkling, energetic piece of musical theatre which has burst onto the scene at the Shaftesbury Theatre.

When the cast come in with 'Larger Than Life' and 'I Want It That Way', there's certainly a moment of unsettled bafflement, but soon the numbers become part of the story and you forget Shakespeare wasn't really bopping along to 90s pop songs whilst writing his iconic tragedies. That being said, there are times where the songs feel added in for the sake of being added and don't flow particularly well but most of the time it doesn't matter because they are performed with a vigour that engages. 

David West Read's book is smartly self-aware and knows exactly when to hold back and acknowledge the pop-culture craziness that's occurring. The meta-theatrical plot works well, with us first meeting William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway as they bicker about the ending of Will's latest play, Romeo and Juliet.  Anne persuades her husband to let her do a rewrite and from here we are taken to Verona where Juliet begins her journey of self discovery and goes on an adventure to Paris with her besties. Full of puns, panto lines and pageantry, the show does teeter on the edge of being too childish at times but David's book and Max's songs marry up well with Luke Sheppard's direction to create a musical which doesn't take itself or its content too seriously. 

As the leading lady Miriam-Teak Lee brings sass in spades. Her vocals are mostly strong and she really does embody the confidence that this reimagined Juliet is full of; but whether due to the lack of character writing or limited acting in the pop-concert atmosphere, Juliet is just a bit distant. I personally didn't warm to her as a character and whilst I appreciate all this modern lady stands for, there is a distinct lack of sincerity in how she's written. However, this is not so true when Juliet and her best friend May are together. It's in these brief moments that compassion flies and we see a more realistic character in front of us. Arun Blair-Mangat is sweet and enticing as May, who discovers love and friendship. 


Oliver Tompsett is the boy-band Shakespeare of dreams, who hilariously bigs himself up and brings an instant charm to the stage. As his steely, compassionate and fizzy wife, Cassidy Janson gives a fantastic performance. Her stage presence is magnetic and I found myself wanting a spin-off purely focussed on (the only) Anne Hathaway. Jordan Luke Gage is suitably self-absorbed from the moment of his bombastic entrance and gives a great vocal performance as Romeo.

The ensemble of players are top notch, adding interest and motion throughout. Jocasta Almgill gives a stand out performance and Lady Capulet, with Dillon Scott-Lewis, Grace Mouat and Antoine Murray-Straughan really shining from the ensemble.

The whole show is exemplary of production value and there's no denying that the energy on stage could power all the theatres on Shaftesbury Avenue. Bill Sherman's lighting is concert goals; Soutra Gilmour's set is a dreamland and Andrzej Goulding's projections bring each scene to life creatively and effectively. The female empowerment, LGBT representation and romantic moments are all enjoyable and important to be seen on stage, but a significant lack of character development means you feel little empathy for the characters and at the end just don't really care. 

This is definitely a show which will be enjoyed after a prosecco or two and it doesn't try to be anything else than a fun night out. If you want theatrical integrity and a moving storyline then this isn't for you, but if you want an explicitly queer, feminist musical that's funny, entertaining and scored by songs that you grew up listening then go see it. If music be the food of love, &Juliet provides a feast that will satisfy anyone looking for a bit of fun.

Twisted, Trafalgar Studios | Review


Twisted (Concert)
Trafalgar Studios
Reviewed on Sunday 9th February 2020 by Olivia Mitchell 
★★★★

There weren't many reasons to leave the house on Sunday, as Storm Ciara battered the UK, but a dose of musical theatre and Disney were certainly two. The latest in Monsteers' concert series, Twisted provided a chance for performers to sing the Disney songs they've always wanted to, as well as those which they wouldn't typically be cast in. This led to an afternoon of uplifting numbers, belting galore and a great escape from mother nature.

Thirteen performers took to the stage to treat us to a selection of (mostly) contemporary songs, ranging from Poor Unfortunate Souls to Hellfire. Each performance brought something special to the stage and offered a chance for stripped back performances celebrating musicality, Disney, Pixar and general theatricality.

Everyone on stage gave top notch performances, with a mixture of upbeat, chilled and full-out stagey numbers. Emily Mae Walker's rendition of Let It Go, Charlotte Anne Steen's Zero To Hero (complete with super fast mic reflexes) and Cameron Burt's Go The Distance were particular standouts among a group of wonderful performers. Gender swapped numbers proved exceedingly entertaining, with Maiya Quansah-Breed's I'll Make a Man Out of You and Grace Mouat's Proud of Your Boy earning huge applause and showing the audience the songs in a different light.

Completing the male line-up were Aran McRae, Lewis Asquith and Christopher Cameron who all gave brilliantly entertaining performances. On the ladies side, it was Lauren Soley's exceptional performance of Tangled's Mother Knows Best that really impressed, as did Jessica Cervi (who stepped in last minute) giving a luminous rendition of Beauty and the Beast. Also stepping up to the plate just the day before was Esme Laudat who's version of Speechless, closed act one in the best way possible. Josie Kemp and Chloe Hazel also gave strong performances with Hazel's Poor Unfortunate Souls a real highlight.

Although the bare, minimalist approach was effective, perhaps future concerts could include some props just to make the fairly large space feel a little more welcoming and less of a 'stand up, sing and go' affair. I did find that occasionally the speakers were a little loud and the lighting somewhat abrupt, and whilst these issues did not detract from the performances, they are things which could be tweaked to step the next concert up a level. 

Twisted was a great way to spend a Sunday and I'd certainly recommend booking future Monsteers concerts.  Great songs, a fab theme and an outstanding band led by the incomparable Steve Corley made for a thoroughly entertaining afternoon.

The Great British Bake Off Musical, Noel Coward Theatre | Review



The Great British Bake Off Musical
Noel Coward Theatre
★★★★

A British institution, Bake Off may not seem like the most likely source for a musical but thankfully, it's musical adaptation works incredibly well and is an easily digestible, heart-warming show and a love letter to the series so many love.

Surprisingly sincere, the musical with book and lyrics by Jake Brunger and music and lyrics by Pippa Cleary is legitimately earnest in its portrayal of the characters and their stories but also includes excellent humour and always manages to stay on the right side of being a parody or caricature of itself. Moments that could be overplayed are often reigned in and you're always laughing with the show rather than at it. That's not to say there aren't some cringe moments and the odd line that doesn't quite hit correctly but none of them take away from the pure joy and sweetness of this musical and it really is a delight of a show.

Pacing wise, it's pretty perfect. It never feels like it drags and really you could do with a second helping of the brilliance on stage because it's just so lovely. It's quite surprisingly just how well everything works. From colour coded bowl choreography (Georgina Lamb) to the incredibly effective set by Alice Power there's not much to fault. Of course you could nitpick, but for the sheer sentimentality and wholesomeness, this musical is a showstopper.

The cast are incredibly strong and there's so much connection between them that shines on stage. As the presenters Zoe Birkett (Kim) and Scott Paige (Jim) are wondrously witty and have excellent chemistry, as if they've been genuine presenters for years. Taking on the job of the judges, Haydn Gwynne and John Owen-Jones are dynamic and somehow retain their individuality whilst bringing the iconic double act to life (in the show Prue Leith becomes Pam Lee and Phil Hollywood becomes Phil Hollinghurst). All of the contestants have stand out moments and are so solid in their portrayals. Charlotte Wakefield especially has some touching scenes and provides some of the top vocals of the show. Grace Mouat's character is also incredibly engaging and is a great contrast to the rest of the bakers. Michael Cahill, Claire Moore, Damian Humbley, Aharon Rayner, Jay Saighal, Aanya Shah and Cat Sandison all bring such humanity to their roles and are so wonderful to watch.

Every aspect of Bake Off makes the cut to the musical, from the challenges to the general structure and joke format. Like the tv show, there are innuendos galore and more baking puns than you could fit in the oven, but above that, it really encapsulates the warmth and community feeling that The Great British Bake Off provides. The contestants each get a bit of development and there's even a romance and some social commentary; all elements feel well thought out and it's really just a well structured, well oiled (greased?) musical. You couldn't really ask for a more genuinely touching show. It truly has all the ingredients to be a hit and is so worth seeing!
