A hip hop musical about the suffragettes and the divisions within the movement? Yes, I know it sounds improbable, but you would have thought Hamilton utterly preposterous as an idea on paper, and we all know how that turned out. Kate Prince’s ZooNation celebrates the life of the rebellious Sylvia Pankhurst, less well known than her sister Christabel and her mum, Emmeline. Beverley Knight returns to play the flawed matriarch. The show has had a long gestation and was seen as a work in progress both in 2018 and early last year when its potential was apparent. It should be in far more robust form after all the development. Previous audience enthusiasm and the Old Vic’s faith in and support of this piece suggests this might be the iteration which really flies.

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.
Sylvia musical London with Beverly Knight
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.”
