New kickass musical FANTASTICALLY GREAT WOMEN WHO CHANGED THE WORLD premieres this Autumn
Brand new kickass-pirational pop musical, Fantastically Great Women Who Changed The World, will receive its world premiere at the MAST Mayflower Studios from 6 November 2021.
From the producer of SIX, in a co-production with MAST Mayflower Studios, the stage adaptation of Kate Pankhurst’s award-winning picture book is written by Chris Bush and songwriter Miranda Cooper, with an all-female creative team including director Amy Hodge, designer Joanna Scotcher, choreographer Dannielle Lecointe, lighting designer Zoe Spurr and sound designer Carolyn Downing.
Join our inquisitive heroine Jade as she breaks away from her class to take a peek behind the scenes at the not yet open Gallery of Greatness in the local museum. Along her journey she is surprised to meet the original and incredible wonder women: Frida Kahlo, Rosa Parks, Amelia Earhart, Marie Curie, Emmeline Pankhurst to name just a few.
From explorers to artists, scientists to secret agents, hear the stories of some of history’s strongest mothers, sisters and daughters; all independent icons who really did change the world.
Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World will be celebrated by anyone who is prepared to move and be moved. With characters and songs that pack a popstar punch, this new show for ages 6+ is guaranteed to be one to remember!
Producer Kenny Wax said: “What a thrill to have assembled our own team of fantastically great women to create this incredible show. No one is more excited than me for the curtain to rise on that first performance. And what an honour to be opening at the Mast Studios who are making a commitment to premiering such daring new work.”
