This is an urgent issue where we can’t wait for the next generation; it needs to be now, it needs to be our current leaders who do something and stop dragging their feet.” Rosa’s Lullaby” (sung by Renée Lamb as Rosa Parks) is all about dreaming of a better future; “Dream a world of colour where you never have to hide/No matter how impossible it seems/A better world for everyone begins with dreams.” Kate Pankhurst other books include Rebel Girls, Little Leaders, and This Little Trailblazer (Photo: Dave Benett/Getty) Hearing aid user?

The Mary song is another highlight; it’s the musical’s equivalent of Six‘s ‘House of Holbein’: fun, fierce and fabulous – and feminist AF.

The Bloomsbury Children’s Team THE AIM ABOUT THE BOOKS

Jade represents everyone that is living now that’s watching now and can speak to them by saying “Follow Your Dreams. If you want to achieve something then go for it”. It’s not like Six where they have like a competition – with this there’s no competitiveness. The show itself follows the story of Jade, who is in year 6 at school, and they take a school trip to the museum. Jade wanders off to a wing that is under development and finds herself looking for an adventure. While she’s in this wing of ‘Fantastically great women throughout history’ the characters reveal themselves to her and tell their stories to Jade and help her find her way. At BSL interpreted performances a British Sign Language interpreter stands on or at the side of the stage and interprets the spoken word and sound effects.Celebrated - and often forgotten - women from history are brought to life on stage, from Rosa Parks to Sacagawea, Amelia Earhart to Marie Curie, Mary Seacole to Frida Kahlo and Jane Austen, and Pankhurst's own relative Emmeline. Inquisitive heroine Jade breaks away from her class trip to the local museum to take a peek at the Gallery of Greatness. Audiences can join Jade in meeting these incredible and inspiring women from the past: from explorers and scientists to artists and secret agents, hear the stories of some of history's independent icons who really did change the world. As we're so conveniently located, the car park can get very busy with city centre shoppers as well as our audiences. Allow plenty of time to park (especially if you're coming to a matinee!) and consider alternative car parks in Chichester. You can find all options at chichester.gov.uk/parking. Parking for disabled patrons I got my first taste of the Fantastically Great Women at West End Live last September, where they performed ‘A World of Colour’ and ‘Fantastically Great’. The former, which is sang by Frida Kahlo (Jade Kennedy), is, without a doubt, the musical’s best song. I’ve been waiting patiently to see them perform it again – this time, the real thing – and I was not disappointed. I was supposed to see the musical in Liverpool over Christmas, but, alas, covid, so it was wonderful to finally see it – especially that song. 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 incredible wonder women: Frida Kahlo, Rosa Parks, Amelia Earhart, Mary Seacole, Marie Curie, Emmeline Pankhurst to name just a few.
