⭐ FANTASTICALLY GREAT WOMEN WHO CHANGED THE WORLD – WORLD PREMIERE OF NEW MUSICAL BY CHRIS BUSH & MIRANDA COOPER ANNOUNCED ⭐
The world premiere of a brand new musical – Fantastically Great Women Who Changed The World, has been announced.
This new kickass-pirational pop musical will burst into life at the Mayflower Mast Studio this Autumn as the Fantastically Great Women take to the stage to tell
their stories.
From the producer of SIX, in a co-production with MAST Mayflower Studios, this stage adaptation of suffragette descendent Kate Pankhurst’s award-winning picture book is written by celebrated dramatist Chris Bush (Nine Lessons and Carols, Almeida Theatre) and Number 1 hit songwriter Miranda Cooper (Girls Aloud, Sugababes).
The incredible all-female creative team bringing this empowering new stage show to life is completed by Amy Hodge (Mr Gum and The Dancing Bear – The Musical!, National Theatre) as director, Joanna Scotcher as designer (Emilia), Dannielle Lecointe as choreographer (Dick Whittington, National Theatre), Zoe Spurr as lighting designer (Emilia) and Carolyn Downing (Summer & Smoke) as sound designer.
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 will premiere at MAST Mayflower Studios, Southampton, running from 6th – 20th November 2021. It will then play Norwich Playhouse 23rd November – 5th December and Liverpool Playhouse 8th December 2021 – 2nd January 2022.
Sounds wonderful! ! !
