The National Tour of Mean Girls has found its new Cady Heron! Katie Yeomans, formerly the standby for Cady on tour, has taken over the role full-time for the remainder of the 2024/25 tour.
Katie joins the principal company, which includes Maya Petropoulos as Regina George, Kristen Amanda Smith as Gretchen Wieners, MaryRose Brendel as Karen Smith, Alexys Morera as Janis Sarkisian, Joshua Morrisey as Damian Hubbard, José Raúl as Aaron Samuels, Kristen Seggio as Mrs. Heron/Ms. Norbury/Mrs. George, Tym Brown as Mr. Duvall, and Kabir Gandhi who took over the role of Kevin G. in December.
The cast also includes Megan Arseneau, Thalia Atallah, Gino Bloomberg, Armani Brown, Connor Buonaccorsi, Paloma D’Auria, Kayla Goins, Chase Graham, Madeline Kendall, Owen Kent Ing, Giulia Marolda, Tay Marquise, Brandon Moreno, Michael Mottram, Kevin Ivey Morrison, Emma X. O’Loughlin, Lucy Rhoades, Ariel Shani, and Jocelyn Darci Trimmer.
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.
Mean Girls opened on Broadway in April 2018 to rave reviews at the August Wilson Theatre, where it played to packed houses.
