Yve Blake

Picture
Yve Blake is an award winning playwright, screenwriter, composer and performer. She’s best known for writing the Book, Music and Lyrics of FANGIRLS, a musical about the underestimated power of teenage girls. FANGIRLS premiered in 2019 Queensland Theatre and Belvoir to multiple five star reviews and sell-out crowds, before winning the 2019 Sydney Theatre Award for Best Mainstage Musical, the Matilda Award for Best Musical or Cabaret, and the 2020 AWGIE award for Music Theatre.
​

Yve’s 2019 TEDxSydney talk “For the love of Fangirls” has been promoted to an official TED talk on TED.com, where it has been viewed more than 1.3 million times.
​
Yve has previously developed and presented her work at Griffin Theatre Company, Soho Theatre, Southbank Centre, Old Vic New Voices, the National Theatre Studio and The Barbican. She was the inaugural recipient of the ATYP Rebel Wilson Theatre-maker scholarship, is alumni of the Royal Court Writers’ Programme, and has been a visiting artist at Princeton University. Her current projects under commission include a feature film for Aquarius films, a family movie musical for Mark Gordon Productions, and a podcast musical about Mary Wollstonecraft for Playful Productions.

Praise for FANGIRLS

"★★★★★"
“Virtuosic”
BROADWAY WORLD
 
"★★★★★""
When FANGIRLS was over, two things happened - the audience gave a standing ovation, and I wanted to give the 14-year-old-version of myself a big hug. Do yourself a favour, please see this show”
COURIER MAIL 

"★★★★★""
Ignites the audience… a visual feast"
 
ON THE TOWN 

"★★★★★"
"Gave me chills"
– LIMELIGHT
 
"★★★★½"
"Tim Minchin took a precocious five-year-old seriously in Matilda and created a worldwide musical hit. Could Blake’s elevating story about a teenager reach similar heights someday?"
AUDREY JOURNAL
 
"★★★★½"
"Like teenage girls, this show is destined to go far"
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
 
"The best pop concert you’ve never been to"
THE GUARDIAN
 
"Draws you in until you’re sharing every rollercoaster emotional moment"
THE AUSTRALIAN
 
"Its dialogue is inexhaustibly witty, partnered by songs that are as inventive as they are powerful, with a plot structure that casts a hypnotic spell over our heads and hearts"
SUZY GOES SEE
 
"See it as soon as you can or be emotionally deformed, for life."
FACES OF BNE
 
“So refreshing… a reminder that it is love that makes us better people”
THE CONVERSATION
 
“It’s a thrill ride. Every twist and turn shudders through the body.”
THE GUARDIAN AUSTRALIA

“Draws you in until you're sharing every rollercoaster emotional moment”
THE AUSTRALIAN
 
“Fangirls is undeniably one of the most perfectly crafted Australian works to hit the stage. Period! From the very first moment to the very last – Fangirls absolutely delivers a joyful production of pure serotonin.”
AUSTRALIAN ARTS REVIEW

"A riotous, hormone-fuelled and life-affirming love letter to the teenagers we all once were."
