UK Premiere of ‘Fangirls’ Directed by Paige Rattray Opens at the Lyric Hammersmith
Congratulations to Cameron’s client Paige Rattray who recently opened the hit musical Fangirls by Yve Blake at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre. Following a run of sold out shows across Australia, this brand-new production co-produced with Sonia Friedman Productions follows Edna, a 14 year-old misfit who is 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.
“All the elements come together in Paige Rattray’s production to make Fangirls often feel like a real concert…Fangirls doesn’t just evoke the untamed inner life of being a teen, it reclaims it – making you wistful for when you felt things so deeply that they actually hurt.” ★★★★★ The Independent
“Paige Rattray’s production is never at less than 110 per cent, in both its earnestness and its ridiculousness…Rattray’s direction itself is impeccable, moving us between humour and the deadly serious on a knife edge.” ★★★★★ WhatsOnStage
“Paige Rattray’s direction finds all the comedy and excitement in Blake’s book and makes it larger than life, with wild fanfic sequences that include a motorbike chase and a zombie apocalypse.” ★★★★★ Broadway World
Running until 24 August 2024 at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre in London, UK.
