FANGIRLS is the joyous new musical celebrating the power of fans… an hilarious, spectacular musical comedy about the danger of underestimating teenage girls!

This acclaimed musical by Yve Blake has taken Australia by storm, inspired by interviews with hundreds of teenage fangirls. It’s a story of young women, the stories we tell them, and the ways we underestimate them – with a sound world that is best described as a ‘Beyonce Concert meets Rave meets Church’.

Yve Blake’s pop culture dreamscape is a glittery, joyous bomb of feminist euphoria that manages to be both nostalgic and totally now.

FANGIRLS is playing from 13 July to 24 August 2024 at the Lyric Hammersmith theatre London.

Meet Edna: she’s 14, she’s a misfit, and she’s in love with Harry. There’s just one problem: Harry’s in the world’s biggest boy band, has 38 million fans, and doesn’t know she exists. When Harry’s band announces a tour stop in Edna’s hometown of Sydney, Australia, she knows this is her destiny – her one chance to meet him. But how on EARTH will she get Harry’s attention?! And exactly how far is she prepared to go in the name of love?
