A brand new kickass-pirational pop musical bursts into life as the Fantastically Great Women take to the stage to tell their stories.
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, 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

"Hi it’s Art, I went to see Fantastically Great
Woman who changed the world last night at the Kings theatre.
I liked the opening scene it was really fun and made me want to know what was going to happen next. The actors changed their costumes so quick it was really cool.
I learnt about Frida Kahlo at the art club I go to, I liked that bit the best because I learnt more about her. I also liked the musicians because at first I thought they were paintings but then they moved and started playing.
I recommend this play. I give it 5 stars. "
