TWO of the original cast of smash hit musical SIX will take to the stage in the world premiere of pop musical Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World in Southampton from next week.
Christina Modestou and Renée Lamb will be joined by Olivier Award nominated Frances Mayli McCann when the show hits MAST Mayflower Studios from November 6 to 20.
From the producer of SIX, in a co-production with MAST Mayflower Studios, this is a stage
adaptation of suffragette descendent Kate Pankhurst’s award-winning picture book.
Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World will be told through the eyes of 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 her local museum, she is surprised to meet the original and
incredible wonder women: Frida Kahlo, Rosa Parks, Amelia Earhart, Marie Curie and Emmeline
Pankhurst among others.
The show features songs from number one hit songwriter Miranda Cooper (Kylie Minogue, Girls Aloud, Sugababes), with music and orchestrations by the Grammy, Brit and Mercury prize nominated Jennifer Decilveo (Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus).
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.
An incredible all-female creative team bring this empowering new stage show to life.
Tickets are on sale now.
