With book, music and lyrics by Yve Blake, Australian import FANGIRLS hit the Lyric Hammersmith stage last evening — to the sort of girly whooping and a-hollering which only a teen angst musical can truly generate. The opening night with its snappy, boy-band style, crotch-grabbing choreography by Ebony Williams, generated a shockwave of energy and enthusiasm. Thankfully, it also goes places tinged with social conscience, and offers messaging which results in genuinely thought-provoking moments.
