Sylvia Old Vic musical

Sylvia follows the story of Sylvia Pankhurst, daughter of suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst and revolutionary women’s rights activitist. Although the lesser-known Pankhurst, Sylvia’s work at the heart of the suffragette movement would eventually change the lives of working women and men everywhere.

Originally commissioned to mark the centenary since the end of World War One, the Sylvia Old Vic musical originally played a limited run of three weeks at the Old Vic back in 2018. What began as a simple tribute to Sylvia Pankhurst turned into a dynamic dance, soul, funk and hip-hop musical that delighted audiences in its short run. However, the production was still a work in progress. Now, after further development, Kate Prince’s Sylvia musical is back for an official debut

The Old Vic is known for developing fantastic new productions, and Sylvia is set to be a huge event in the theatrical calendar.

“I'm particularly grateful for this second chance and to be able to finish what has been the most extraordinary creative challenge yet of my life!” said adaptor Kate Prince.

Acclaimed recording artist and musical theatre performer Beverly Knight will star as Sylvia. Regarded as one of Britain’s greatest soul singers, Knight is known for hit songs such as ‘Greatest Day’, ‘Get Up!’ and ‘Come As You Are’. She has previously been seen in ‘Memphis’ and ‘The Drifters Girl’, both of which earned her a Laurence Olivier nomination for Best Actress In A Musical.

As well as playing the titular role, Knight is also serving as creative consultant on the new Sylvia Old Vic musical.

“I am so happy to be reprising my role as Emmeline Pankhurst in the utterly brilliant Sylvia,” she said in a statement. “The workshop version in 2018 pointed the way to what I believe will be a British musical theatre game-changer, both in the way the story is told through music and movement and in pulling in a different demographic to experience the joys of theatre.” Don’t miss Knight’s powerful performance – book Sylvia Old Vic tickets today.
