Dylan Mulvaney to take solo musical to Edinburgh directed by Tim Jackson

Social media star Dylan Mulvaney will premiere her solo stage musical Faghag at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer 2024.

The show will play the Assembly George Square Studios from 31 July to 25 August 2024.

Faghag will take a deep dive into Mulvaney’s life behind the scenes of her hugely successful TikTok series Days of Girlhood, the labels that have been pushed upon her throughout her highly publicized transition, her relationship with God and growing up queer in the Catholic church, and much more.

The one-hour original musical will be directed by Tim Jackson, who directed current West End hit musical Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) and is directing the forthcoming concert of Something Rotten! at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Jackson is also choreographer of Broadway hit Merrily We Roll Along.

The show features songs by Tim Robinson.

Mulvaney is one of the most famous trans women in the United States, and made this year’s Forbes’ 30-under-30 list, the Out 100 and Attitude’s Woman of the Year.

Dylan Mulvaney said in a statement: “I am over the moon excited to return back to my theatre roots! FAGHAG is a campy, queer love letter to my younger self, and my way of taking my story off of social media and onto the stage. I have a deep respect for the solo performance art form, and I can’t think of a more iconic place to premiere it than Edinburgh Fringe.”

Faghag is produced and supported by Seaview, Wessex Grove, and AEG Presents.
