Like Me is a musical with music and lyrics by Garry Lake[1] and book by Jon Smith. It tells the story of a group of four young adults navigating the social media minefield, looking for each other, for love, for validation and ultimately, for themselves – in amongst a cyber world populated by thousands of 'followers' and 'friends'. Haunted by a lack of self-confidence and self-respect, Emma, Ashley, Luke and Charlie face physical, emotional and psychological challenges, leading them to question their very identity.

Originally conceived as a song cycle by Garry Lake and performed at the Duplex,[2] New York and the CMO Club[3] at the Conrad Hilton, the full-book musical was first seen in a showcase performance at the Courtyard Theatre, London[4] October 3, 2014. Most recently, Like Me was showcased at The Waterloo East Theatre on April 11, 2015.[5]
