Mackenzie is 13 and she's booked her first-ever TV gig: a tiny part on a huge kids show. It's a small start, but Mackenzie's mum has always felt sure that her daughter was destined for superstardom. One day, Mackenzie and her best on-set friend Beau encounter a geriatric make-up artist who is struck with a vision – that Mackenzie will be number one pop girl of the world.
Directed by the electric Virginia Gay, this hilariously macabre play (with songs) charts Mackenzie's rise to fame fuelled by a cut-throat stage mum who will stop at absolutely nothing. Set in the heights of early 2000s TV stardom, prepare for a wild ride that will leave you in stitches – and deeply disturbed.
