a brand-new glittery and vibrant musical adventure for children BASED ON THE BOOK BY RACHEL BURKE.

Rachel Burke’s Fancy Long Legs is the story of Fancy, a spider who loves to create but struggles to stay focused on her creative task of web-building. With the support of her friends, Fancy goes on a beautiful journey of self-discovery to find her own style and make something no one else can.

Adapted for the stage by Naomi Price with original songs by Waveney Yasso and direction by Courtney Stewart, this uplifting story takes a sparkly and relatable look at neurodivergence, offering a playful and glitter-covered adventure of acceptance, staying true to yourself and finding friends who love you and celebrate your differences.

Fancy Long Legs has been created with accessibility at its core to ensure the theatre experience is welcoming, safe and inclusive for all. Each performance in the season will be considered ‘relaxed’ with flexible venue access, ambient lighting, spoiler sheets, sensory warnings, a low-sensory space, accessible seating, plus Auslan interpretation, audio description and tactile tours on select performances.

Rachel Burke’s Fancy Long Legs premiered on 12 September 2024
