About FANGIRLS

Superfans, it's time to unite with an uproarious new musical! Book Fangirls tickets on London Theatre now.

Hilarious and thought-provoking new musical Fangirls by Australian writer Yve Blake (music, lyrics, and book) makes its UK debut at the Lyric Hammersmith this summer. A multi-award winner in Sydney, the musical explores an ordinary 14-year-old schoolgirl Edna’s infatuation with world- famous boy band star Harry, and the lengths she’s prepared to go to get him to notice her.

Fangirls is a retort to the press’s mocking tone towards One Direction’s distraught young fans when Zayn Malik announced his departure from the band in 2015. Blake instead wanted to show how loyal, motivated, and influential fans can be, and carried out interviews with hundreds of teenage girls when developing the musical. The show was first performed in 2019 at Queensland Theatre and Belvoir Theatre, before touring Australia twice, and arriving at the Sydney Opera House in 2022.

The show is set to a raucous original score that replicates the effect of being at a pop concert. The production is directed by Paige Rattray, who directed the original production. The cast is to be announced.

In a five-star review, Time Out Sydney called the show “a seriously multilayered affair” and remarked that it “brings a remarkably unspoken social truth to the surface: teenage girls deserve respect for what they love, even if you don’t love the same things they do”. Furthermore, Fangirls won the 2019 Sydney Theatre Award for Best Mainstage Musical; the Matilda Award for Best Musical or Cabaret; the 2020 AWGIE Award for Music Theatre, and was recognised for New Australian Writing for Music theatre at 2022's Green Room Awards.
