Hell hath no fury like a teenage girl. As someone who grew up an "uncool girl" (gn) on Tumblr in the heyday of 2010s fandom (notably including Superwholock), "i can fix him" speaks to both to the mob mentality and the bleeding heartache of loving your favorite characters. Leiber gives each character the gravitas they deserve and doesn't hide from the darker underbellies of their lives, while still thunderously hitting every comedic beat and eyebrow-raising nod to the Sopranos-esque fanfiction operation itself. Also: I really want to see the Jess Mariano powerpoint on stage. Absolutely brilliant.

"I can fix him" should be the first play to use the word Johnlock on a Broadway stage. And if that word elicits a deep shiver down the base of your spine, this is the play for you. Filled with memorable characters, this play is a love letter to weird girls and the things that are important to them. Leiber plays up the stakes to create a narrative that is tense and compelling. Every issue in these girls lives are treated with grave importance- leading to strong laughs and strong emotions.

A play that both treats its absurd subject matter with empathy and self seriousness while always having the ability to turn around and laugh along with them. "i can fix him" GETS these types of teenage girls, gets the need behind their boy worship, and loneliness they fill with self importance. It tells a story relying well on the tropes of both mob and high school movies, chock full with betrayals, schemes, and an impenetrable social code, but so effectively uses the theatrical medium. Very producible and skin crawlingly relatable.
