Girlz tells the story of the creation, and subsequent life of a girl band over the course of one tumultuous year. We follow Nicky, Alex, Jaz, Frankie and Kim on their roller-coaster ride from audition to recording studio; from stadium gig highs to devastating lows. We witness the impact of pop-stardom on Nicky’s relationship with her 'indie' musician boyfriend Adam, and how fame forces Alex to confront her past. Masterminding the whole operation is pop impresario Kyle Kashman, who pushes the Girlz to their very limits. 

 

Featuring large sections of the bands high energy live show, Girlz is not only a full-scale musical, but also part live gig. A tale of music industry highs and lows, packed with plenty of humour, Girlz also deals with hard the hitting subjects including mental health, drug abuse, media trolling and sexual misconduct . At its heart however, it is an uplifting and joyful tale of friendship, music and love. 

 

With a cast of just seven, and minimal set requirements, Girlz is simple to produce and adaptable to a wide variety of performance spaces, from large theatres to school halls. It contains 15 original songs. First half running time is approximately 60 minutes. Second half running time is approximately 80 minutes.
