‘Fangirls’ Fever: Creator Yve Blake on the One Direction-Inspired Musical’s ‘Wild’ London Debut and Crafting the Show to Feel ‘Like a First Crush’
Yve Blake's Australian musical sensation 'Fangirls' has found an enthusiastic new audience in London.
Rattray, currently the director of new work and artistic development at Sydney Theatre Company, brings a wealth of experience to the production, with credits including “Triple X” and “Deep Blue Sea.” Rather than seeking performers who can perfectly replicate previous interpretations, Blake and Rattray prioritize finding the right people for each role and then tailoring the material to showcase their unique talents. Blake, an alumna of the Royal Court Writers’ Program and a TEDx speaker whose talk on “Fangirls” has over 1.4 million views, is delighted with British theatergoers’ willingness to participate in the show’s interactive elements.
