Faye’s West End credits include Everybody's Talking About Jamie at the Apollo Theatre, and her other musical theatre credits including the Dita Von Teese production of Diamonds and Dust, UK tours of 101 Dalmatians, 42nd Street, In The Spotlight, Me And My Girl, Love Shack and Tell Me On A Sunday, Singin’ in The Rain at Sadler’s Wells, in Toronto and on a UK tour, and Saucy Jack And The Space Vixens at The Leicester Square Theatre. Faye’s film credits include St Georges Day, Mixed Up and Lady Godiva Back In The Saddle.
Kiara Dario will make her UK principal debut in Mean Girls.
Her previous West End credits include the original London cast of The Great Gatsby at the London Coliseum and her other theatre credits include the international tour of Miss Saigon, and Annie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Disney’s Camp Rock, AngHuling El Bimbo, Joseph The Dreamer and Snow White, all in the Philippines.
A spokesman for Wolverhampton Grand Theatre said: "Meet The Plastics, Regina, Gretchen and Karen. They rule North Shore High and will burn anyone who gets in their way.
"Home-schooled Cady Heron may think she knows a thing or two about survival of the fittest thanks to her zoologist parents, but high school is a whole new level of savage.
"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. Expect iconic characters, razor-sharp wit, and killer songs."
Mean Girls had its first West End performance at the Savoy Theatre in June 2024, where it was seen by more than 330,000 people, and recently took home the coveted ‘Best New Musical’ award at the 2025 WhatsOnStage Awards.
The musical Mean Girls has a book by Tina Fey, music and vocal arrangements by Jeff Richmond, lyrics by Nell Benjamin, direction and choreography by Casey Nicholaw, scenic design by Scott Pask, costume design by Katrina Lindsay, lighting design by Kenneth Posner, sound design by Brian Ronan, hair design by Josh Marquette, musical supervision/vocal, dance, incidental and additional music arrangements by Mary-Mitchell Campbell, orchestrations by John Clancy and dance and incidental music arrangements by Glen Kelly.
