Following an explosive 2018 debut, the inspiring and moving feminist biopic musical Sylvia is set to return to the Old Vic, where it initially captivated the hearts of audiences. The production has sinced recieved three Olivier Award nominations including Best New Musical. To see the epic life and victories of Sylvia Pankhurst celebrated on stage, book tickets for the musical Sylvia Today!
Despite a life of torture, imprisonment and violence, Sylvia Pankhurst refused to surrender her relentless battle for women's rights. A legendary feminist, activist, socialist, pacifist and rebel, Sylvia established herself as a beacon of hope and power during the suffragette movement and went on to indefinitely change the lives of men and women across the world.
Sylvia is co-written by Kate Prince (who also handles book and lyrics) and Priya Parmar, with original music by Josh Cohen and DJ Walde. This modern musical masterpiece is the ultimate celebration of Pankhursts’ journey, exploring her pivotal role in The Suffragettes Movement, and how her sacrifices tore her family apart. Sylvia is a fusion of dance, hip-hop, soul and funk, which shines a reimagined torch on the heart of the fight for women's rights.

Ähnlich wie die Frauenwahlrechtsbewegung kein Spaziergang war, hat auch die aktuelle Aufführung von Sylvia seit ihrer Premiere viele Schwierigkeiten erlebt, von denen viele außerhalb der Kontrolle des Produktionsteams lagen. Der künstlerische Leiter des Old Vic Theatre , Matthew Warchus, gibt heute bekannt, dass sich der Veranstaltungsort in der "frühen Planungsphase" befindet, um eine vollwertige Produktion von Sylvia zurückzubringen .
