The exciting new cast has been announced for the 2022 UK tour of inspiring girl power musical Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World.

This empowering stage adaptation is brought to life by an incredible all-female led cast and creative team, based on the book of the  same name by Suffragette descendant Kate Pankhurst.  

The tour opens at Liverpool Playhouse from 25 March, before visiting Salford, Kingston upon Thames, Edinburgh, Truro, Exeter, Cheltenham, Oxford, Sheffield, Poole and Stratford, London.

The new cast members for the Spring 2022 tour are Kirstie Skivington (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, Apollo Theatre and The Crucible Sheffield; Jesus Christ Superstar, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre), Kudzai Mangombe (Malindadzimu, Hampstead Theatre), Elise Zavou (Red Riding Hood, Theatre Royal Stratford East) and Clarice Julianda (Priscilla: Queen of the Desert, UK tour).

Returning to the show after the hugely popular (although devastated by Covid-19) tour are Renée Lamb (SIX, West End; Be More Chill,  The Other Palace and Shaftesbury Theatre), Christina Modestou (SIX, West End; We Will Rock You, Dominion Theatre) and Jade Kennedy (Billy Elliot, Victoria Palace Theatre).  

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.
