Torn between loyalty, love, and revolution, the remarkable story of Sylvia Pankhurst’s life explodes onto the stage when SYLVIA storms into Edinburgh in 2026.
 
Activist. Rebel. Icon.
 
The Olivier Award-winning electrifying musical is fuelled by an irresistible soundtrack that joyously unites hip hop, funk, and soul, and is brought to life by world-renowned choreographer and storyteller Kate Prince (ZooNation).
 
Powerhouse talent Beverley Knight (Sister Act, The Drifters Girl, Memphis The Musical) will reprise her Olivier award winning role as Emmeline Pankhurst, alongside Sharon Rose (Hamilton, Motown, Beautiful: The Carol King Musical) as Sylvia.
