The highly anticipated studio cast recording for the empowering pop musical Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World has been released on streaming platforms.

This inspiring and  uplifting show, based on the popular book by Suffragette descendant Kate Pankhurst, packs a  popstar punch with original music by hit songwriters Miranda Cooper (Girls Aloud; Sugababes;  Kylie Minogue), Jennifer Decilveo (Miley Cyrus; Anne-Marie; Ella Henderson) and dramatist Chris  Bush (Pericles, National Theatre; Faustus: That Damned Woman, Headlong).

The album release  is coinciding with the show's five-week residency at Theatre Royal Stratford East before it  continues on tour to Canterbury (The Marlowe) and Edinburgh Festival Fringe (Pleasance Grand).  

The cast bring to life eight fierce feminist anthems including ‘Deeds Not Words’, ‘Fantastically Great’ and ‘A World of Colour’, as incredible women from history tell their story and inspire young heroine Jade. The cast featured on the album are Fayth Ifil (Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World, autumn tour), Jade Kennedy (Billy Elliot, Victoria Palace Theatre), Renée Lamb (SIX, West End), Kudzai Mangombe (Malindadzimu, Hampstead Theatre),Christina  Modestou (SIX, West End) and Kirstie Skivington (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, Apollo Theatre).

Celebrated – and often forgotten – women 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 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 an uplifting and catchy soundtrack.
