Sylvia: A Musical Revolution

24 Sep - 3 Oct 2026

Sylvia Pankhurst – fearless, flawed, and unforgettable.

The untold story of the rebellious middle child of Emmeline Pankhurst takes centre stage in this irresistible hip hop, funk and soul musical that moves your feet and fires your spirit.

Whilst her mother and sister battled for women’s suffrage, Sylvia ignited a revolution for the forgotten: working women, the impoverished, the silenced. Caught between her family and her beliefs, Sylvia risked it all to bring change to millions.

With an electrifying score by Josh Cohen and DJ Walde, renowned choreographer and storyteller Kate Prince (ZOONATION – MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE, SOME LIKE IT HIP HOP, INTO THE HOODS, THE MAD HATTER’S TEA PARTY) delivers her Olivier-nominated vision in this theatrical treat that audiences can’t get enough of.

Starring powerhouse talent Beverley Knight, (SISTER ACT, THE DRIFTERS GIRL, MEMPHIS THE MUSICAL) in a show stopping performance as Emmeline Pankhurst, this is your chance to see her in a career defining turn that won her the Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.

Naomi Katiyo (HAMILTON, JUST FOR ONE DAY: THE LIVE AID MUSICAL) stars as Sylvia Pankhurst, a role that brings depth, heart, and fire to the stage.

Direct from London’s Old Vic theatre where it played to sold out houses and instant standing ovations, SYLVIA is more than a musical – it’s a manifesto set to music, a revolution you can dance to, a story that roars and shakes the rafters.
