Here's your first look at Fangirls, written and composed by Yve Blake and directed by Paige Rattray.

A hilarious and subversive musical comedy, Fangirls is about the danger of underestimating teenage girls. The show follows 14-year-old Edna who is in love with a member of the world's biggest boy band.
