The cast for the Mean Girls musical has been revealed - and it's so fetch.

The show is set to premiere in October at Washington DC's National Theatre and is then expected to head to Broadway early next year.

Tina Fey has been working on the musical with her husband, 30 Rock composer Jeff Richmond.

The 2004 teen comedy starred Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried and Lacey Chabert - but who will take on their roles?

Cady's friends Janis and Damian will be played by Barrett Wilbert Weed and Grey Henson.

The show is set to run from 31 October until 3 December with its New York dates still to be decided, depending on the reception it gets.
