NETworks Presentations has announced full casting for the 2024-2025 North American tour of Mean Girls, the record-breaking new musical comedy adapted from the hit Paramount Pictures film by Tina Fey.
Reprising their roles from the full 2023 – 2024 season are Natalie Shaw as Cady Heron, Maya Petropoulos as Regina George, Kristen Amanda Smith as Gretchen Wieners, MaryRose Brendel as Karen Smith, Alexys Morera as Janis Sarkisian, Shawn Mathews as Kevin G., and Kristen Seggio as Mrs. Heron/Ms. Norbury/Mrs. George.
José Raúl and Tym Brown, who joined North Shore High this past spring, will continue with the tour as Aaron Samuels and Mr. Duvall respectively.

The cast also includes Carly Ameling, Megan Arseneau, Thalia Atallah, Connor Buonaccorsi, Paloma D’Auria, Kayla Goins, Chase Graham, Tyler Jung, Tay Marquise, Oshie Mellon, Brandon Moreno, Kevin Ivey Morrison, Emma X. O’Loughlin, Jamal Stone, Jocelyn Darci Trimmer, and Ryan Vogt.
Mean Girls is the hilarious hit musical from an award-winning creative team, including book writer Tina Fey (“30 Rock”), composer Jeff Richmond (“Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”), lyricist Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde) and original director and choreographer Casey Nicholaw (The Book of Mormon).
Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. How will this naïve newbie rise to the top of the popularity pecking order? By taking on The Plastics, a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady devises a plan to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.
