The inspiring girl power musical, Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World, produced by Kenny Wax Family Entertainment in association with MAST Mayflower Studios, will open at Theatre Royal Stratford East from 15 June to 17 July 2022.
This empowering stage adaptation is brought to life by an incredible cast and creative team, based on the book of the same name by Suffragette descendant Kate Pankhurst.
The cast includes Kirstie Skivington, Kudzai Mangombe, Elise Zavou and Clarice Julianda, as well as Renée Lamb, Christina Modestou and Jade Kennedy who are returning to the show.
Celebrated – and often forgotten – women from history are brought to life on stage, including Rosa Parks, Sacagawea, Amelia Earhart, Marie Curie, Mary Seacole, Frida Kahlo, Jane Austen, and Pankhurst’s own relative Emmeline. When inquisitive heroine Jade breaks away from her school trip to the local museum to peek at the Gallery of Greatness, she meets iconic women from the past, such as explorers, scientists, artists and secret agents. This thrilling musical is full of incredible characters, inspirational moments and a soundtrack that packs a popstar punch.
The creative team bringing this uplifting stage show to audiences across the UK consists of renowned dramatist Chris Bush, with music by Miranda Cooper and Jennifer Decilveo and live arrangements by Jen Green, director Amy Hodge, designer Joanna Scotcher, choreographer Dannielle Lecointe, lighting designer Zoe Spurr and sound designer Carolyn Downing.
