The empowering pop musical Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World, based on the popular children’s book by Suffragette relative Kate Pankhurst, comes to Leeds Grand Theatre from Wednesday 28 February to Sunday 3 March 2024.

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

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, heart-warming musical is full of incredible characters, inspirational moments and a soundtrack that packs a popstar punch.
