Vivian Panka is starring as Regina George in Mean Girls.


Following its London run, the musical kicks off its first ever UK and Ireland tour later this month. Tina Fey adapted Mean Girls from her 2004 film, collaborating with Jeff Richmond who composed the music and Nell Benjamin who wrote the lyrics. The show is directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw. 


Vivian's theatre credits include: Alana Beck in Dear Evan Hansen (UK Tour), Heather Duke in Heathers (The Other Palace & Filmed Movie) and Judy Bernly in 9 to 5 (UK Tour).


In this episode, Vivian discusses all-things Mean Girls, including which role she was originally submitted for, the audition process and her favourite Regina song to sing. Vivian also discusses the path of her career, including iconic moments, the impact of Heathers and lots more.


Mean Girls opens in Manchester on 23rd February and tours the UK and Ireland until January 2027.
