Get to Know Nadina Hassan, Regina George on the 'Mean Girls' Tour, with These 10 Fun Facts! (Exclusive)

The musical Mean Girls is currently touring around the country and the production is now being performed in Los Angeles!

We caught up with Nadina Hassan, who plays the role of Regina George in the tour, taking on the role that was originated by Rachel McAdams in the film version.

In Mean Girls, Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. Soon, this naïve newbie falls prey to 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.

Nadina is making her national tour debut after graduating from Baldwin Wallace’s musical theatre program in 2020.
