Fangirls (musical)

Fangirls is an Australian stage musical with book, music, and lyrics by Yve Blake. It concerns 14-year-old Edna, a diehard fan of the biggest boy band in the world, True Connection (a parody reference to One Direction), and its lead singer Harry. It was inspired by interviews with hundreds of teenage fangirls.

The original production premiered on 7 September 2019 at Queensland Theatre, before transferring to Belvoir St Theatre in Sydney on 12 October 2019. In 2021, Fangirls returned for a national tour of Australia.

Fangirls received critical acclaim. The musical won the Sydney Theatre Award for Best Production of a Musical, Matilda Award for Best Musical or Cabaret, and the 2020 AWGIE Award for Music Theatre. The world premiere cast recording was released in 2021 via Ghostlight Records. At the 2021 ARIA Music Awards, the album was nominated for Best Original Soundtrack or Musical Theatre Cast Album.

A London production co-produced by the Lyric Hammersmith and Sonia Friedman opened in July 2024.
