Casting has been announced for the UK tour of award-winning musical Fantastically Great Women Who Changed The World, which begins at New Wimbledon Theatre on 30 November.

This empowering pop musical, from one of the producers of the worldwide sensation SIX, is based on the popular book by Suffragette relative, Kate Pankhurst.

The fantastically great cast includes Elena Breschi (Kindertransport, Nottingham Playhouse), Jennifer Caldwell (SIX, UK tour), Georgia Grant-Anderson (Secret Life of Boys, CBBC), Chlöe Hart (Wicked, West End), and Leah Vassell (SIX, West End).

This critically acclaimed show is bringing back its awe-inspiring characters, catchy pop soundtrack and TikTok-favourite choreography this winter.

Remarkable – and often forgotten – women from history are lifted from the pages of Kate Pankhurst’s beloved book and brought gloriously to life on stage, including Rosa Parks, 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, whose actions and lives changed the world as we know it, including explorers, scientists, artists and secret agents. This enthralling, heartwarming musical is full of incredible characters, inspirational moments and a soundtrack that packs a popstar punch.
