Mean Girls The Musical lands at Bournemouth Pavilion (and local star Jack Rose is back in town)
If you’re in the mood for a big night out with laugh-out-loud moments, iconic characters, and songs you’ll be humming on the way home, Mean Girls The Musical is at Bournemouth Pavilion this week — and there’s an extra reason for locals to feel proud.
Jack Rose is back in Bournemouth. The local performer, who began his training at Leaf Studio School, has gone on to build an impressive career in musical theatre — including roles in Mamma Mia! and The Book of Mormon in London’s West End. Now he returns to the Pavilion as part of the UK tour, stepping onto a stage he performed on as a child — but this time, as a professional.
Clark and Holly: “What a show it was!”
Clark interviewed Jack Rose on the radio ahead of the Bournemouth dates — and then, on Monday, Clark and Holly headed to Bournemouth Pavilion to see the show for themselves.
It was a brilliant mix of perspectives: Clark went in completely fresh, having never seen the film, while Holly already knew the story. Either way, the verdict was the same — the atmosphere was electric.
The theatre was packed with excited fans, and plenty of people fully embraced the Mean Girls spirit by turning up dressed in pink.
From start to finish, Mean Girls The Musical delivered:
- Fantastic performances
- Brilliant stage presence
- Incredible energy from the cast
- All the songs fans know and love
Whether you’re a lifelong Mean Girls fan or experiencing the story for the very first time, Clark and Holly say this production is an absolute treat and well worth seeing.
“Get in loser, we’re going to Bournemouth Pavilion!”
Direct from the West End and winner of Best New Musical (WhatsOnStage Awards), Mean Girls The Musical brings Tina Fey’s razor-sharp humour to the stage with a full-throttle, modern musical twist.
The story follows Cady Heron, who’s been home-schooled by her zoologist parents and suddenly finds herself dropped into the wild world of high school. When she crosses paths with The Plastics — Regina, Gretchen and Karen — she quickly learns that teenage politics can be every bit as ruthless as the animal kingdom.
Expect:
- Iconic characters you’ll recognise instantly
- Razor-sharp wit and big laugh moments
- Killer songs and high-energy performances
- A proper “grab-your-friends” night at the theatre
In the Bournemouth Pavilion production, the cast includes Faye Tozer (Steps), Emily Lane as Cady, and Vivian Panka as Regina.
Please note: Faye Tozer will not appear on Saturday 6 June 2026.
