What is it about?

Ever wished that you could fast-forward in time when you were stuck at school? This is the case of one such middle-schooler, Jenna Rink, a gawky 13-year old who finds herself humiliated after her birthday party ends in tears by the nasty kids at school. Crying herself to sleep while wishing herself that she were 30 years old, lo and behold, she awakens up to find herself just five days shy of her 30th birthday, with absolutely no idea how she got there!

So begins a wild ride through her newfound adulthood as the star writer at her favorite teen magazine poise, with thrills, spills and just a hint of romance to lighten her way. However, within the intervening 17 years, she finds that her past friendships have all but disappeared, and that she was in fact part of the nasty gang of girls at school, and grew up to be spoiled and selfish to boot.

Opening on 21 September 2025 for a limited season to 12 October at Manchester Opera House, BOOK YOUR TICKETS today!
