Frequently Asked Questions

When is Mean Girls the Musical in Leicester?

Mean Girls the Musical is in Leicester from Tuesday 5 May to Saturday 9 May 2026 at Curve Theatre. It is a short, one-week run, so booking ahead is recommended if you want specific dates or seats.

Where is Mean Girls being performed in Leicester?

The show is performed at Curve on Rutland Street, right in Leicester city centre. The theatre is close to Leicester train station, bus routes, car parks, and many bars and restaurants, making it easy to plan a full evening out.

What is Mean Girls the Musical about?

Mean Girls follows Cady Heron, who moves from being homeschooled in Africa to an American high school and is pulled into the world of the popular Plastics. As she helps plot against their queen bee Regina George, Cady gets caught up in gossip, bullying, and the infamous Burn Book, and eventually learns that kindness, honesty, and being herself matter more than fitting in.

How long does the Mean Girls show last in Leicester?

The performance runs for about 2 hours 30 to 2 hours 45 minutes including an interval. You should allow around three hours in total so you have enough time to arrive, get comfortable, enjoy the interval, and leave the theatre without rushing.

Is Mean Girls suitable for children and families?

The usual age guidance is 10 years and over, as the musical contains some strong language, suggestive humour, and themes such as bullying, peer pressure, and teenage relationships. Teenagers and adults, especially those who know the film, typically enjoy the jokes and references most, while very young children may find some moments too mature.

Has Mean Girls the Musical won any awards?

The Broadway production of Mean Girls received twelve Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score, showing how highly it is regarded. In the UK, the show has also won Best New Musical at the WhatsOnStage Awards, an audience-voted award that proves how popular it is with theatregoers.

How can I get cheap tickets for Mean Girls in Leicester?

To find cheaper tickets, look first at midweek performances such as Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday evenings, as these are often better value than Friday and Saturday shows. Be flexible on where you sit by checking prices for upper circle, side view, or rear stalls seats, and compare different dates so you can choose from the lowest price bands available.

Are there discounts or special offers at Curve Theatre?

Curve often has offers such as group discounts, concessions, and occasional deals on selected performances. Joining the theatre’s mailing list, creating an online account, and checking any offers or promotions pages regularly can help you spot early-bird prices, special discounts, or package deals before they sell out.

When is the best time to book tickets?

Booking as soon as you know your preferred date usually gives you the best choice of seats and price ranges, especially for Friday and Saturday evenings. If you are flexible, you can also watch availability closer to the time, as extra seats or late-release tickets sometimes appear, but the cheapest or most central seats may already be gone.

What is the running schedule for performances in Leicester?

During the week of 5 to 9 May 2026, you can expect evening performances most days, typically starting around early evening. There is usually at least one matinee performance, often on Thursday or Saturday, which is a good option if you prefer daytime shows or are travelling into Leicester for the day.

Do I need to have seen the Mean Girls film to enjoy the musical?

You do not need to have seen the film, because the musical clearly introduces Cady, Regina, the Plastics, and the high school setting from the start. Fans of the film will enjoy spotting familiar lines and scenes, while newcomers can still follow the story easily and enjoy the humour, choreography, and songs without any prior knowledge.

What should I expect from the music and staging?

The show features a modern pop-rock score, big ensemble numbers, and energetic choreography that capture the chaos and comedy of high school life. You can expect colourful sets, quick scene changes, and a mix of laugh-out-loud comedy with heartfelt moments that explore bullying, friendship, self-image, and the importance of accepting yourself and others.
