Rachel Burke's Fancy Long Legs
La Boite Theatre
Rachel Burke’s Fancy Long Legs is a dazzling, all-ages musical that celebrates individuality and creativity, making its much-anticipated debut at La Boite Theatre from 12 to 22 September, 2024.
Based on the new children’s book of the same name by Brisbane author and craft queen Rachel Burke, Fancy Long Legs is a colourful, fantastical production that follows sparkly spider Fancy and her three arachnid friends – Incy, Busy and Charlotte – as she finds her way in the world.

This show is for anybody who wants to understand their place in the world; exploring neurodivergence through an uplifting and relatable lens.
Fancy Long Leg’s commitment to inclusivity and acceptance permeates the production, delivering an accessible and relaxed performance with considered approaches to costumes, colour palettes, sounds, lights and staging.
The production features spoiler sheets, sensory warnings, accessible seating and venue access, a low-sensory space and tactile tours on selected performances, plus four Auslan-interpreted and audio-described performances.
The world premiere season of Fancy Long Legs is a colourful collaboration between La Boite Theatre, Brisbane Festival and The Little Red Company; adapted for the stage by The Little Red Company Artistic Director and Co-Founder Naomi Price, directed by La Boite Artistic Director Courtney Stewart, with a catchy soundtrack composed by songwriter, musician and Yuwi Burra woman Waveney Yasso, and dazzling costumes and set designed by Rachel Burke.
