Remember how, long before the intensity of first love, there was the juggernaut force of the first crush? This musical comedy from Australia takes that chest-squeezing feeling and magnifies it to the power of 100 in this glittery, garish, girl-fantasy pop concert of a show.
Edna (Jasmine Elcock) is a gawky 14-year-old from Sydney with a crush the size of her continent on pop star Harry. Played by Thomas Grant as a blend of Harry Styles and early-era Robbie Williams, with a twist of Justin Timberlake, he is the lead singer of the boyband Heartbreak Nation. The group’s forthcoming concert in town sets off a plot that goes from securing a ticket to a quest to liberate Harry from what Edna perceives as the unhappy prison of his fame.
