The Mean Girls Episode (ft. Jenna Fincken)


Listen Later

We're back with a totally fetch episode about the brand new Mean Girls movie!

Ahead of Mean Girls opening in the West End in June, the stage musical has been adapted into a brand new film. Directed by Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr, Tina Fey has once again written the movie's script.

The cast includes Angourie Rice as Cady Heron, Reneé Rapp as Regina George, Auliʻi Cravalho as Janis, Jaquel Spivey as Damian, Avantika as Karen and Bebe Wood as Gretchen.

This episode is co-hosted by writer and actor Jenna Fincken.

Jenna wrote and starred in her one-person play Ruckus which had a sold-out, highly acclaimed run at the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Later that year, the show transferred to London for a run at the Southwark Playhouse.

Jenna was nominated for an Offie Award for Best Lead Performance in a Play and Ruckus was nominated for Best Off-West End production at the WhatsOnStage Awards. She’s about return to the show for a tour.

In this episode, Andrew and Jenna delve into their thoughts about the new Mean Girls movie and Jenna discusses why she's so excited to take Ruckus on tour.

You can see Ruckus at the Mercury Theatre, Colchester 9th - 10th February, North Wall, Oxford 20th - 21st February, Harlow Playhouse 15th March and MAST Mayflower Studios, Southampton 19th March. For info and tickets, visit www.jennafincken.com.

Mean Girls is in cinemas now.
