FANGIRLS is an award-winning, subversive musical comedy about how we ask young women to see themselves.

With a score that sounds like bit like a pop concert, a bit like a rave, and a bit like church.

Since premiering in 2019, FANGIRLS has scored five star reviews, multiple awards, and played to standing-room-only crowds across Australia. Following a sold-out premiere season, FANGIRLS returned in 2021 for a National tour, and again is 2022 for an encore season at the Sydney Opera House.

In 2024, a brand new production of FANGIRLS will premiere in London at the Lyric Hammersmith, co-produced by Sonia Friedman Productions.

"★★★★★"

"When I say... that this musical made me feel reborn, I am not being dramatic."

"This show 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."

TIMEOUT

"★★★★★"

"FANGIRLS is destined to be one of Australia’s most exceptional exports. A show that will give you literal chills"

THEATRETHOUGHTS

"★★★★★"

"When FANGIRLS was over, two things happened - the audience gave a standing ovation, and I wanted to give the 14-year-old-version of myself a big hug. Do yourself a favour, please see this show”

THE AUSTRALIAN


"Its dialogue is inexhaustibly witty, partnered by songs that are as inventive as they are powerful, with a plot structure that casts a hypnotic spell over our heads and hearts"

SUZY GOES SEE

"This musical is part of Australian theatre history and will surely have a long legacy, inspiring many more trailblazing artists and encouraging and uplifting real and diverse voices for years to come."
