The album release is coinciding with the show's five-week residency at Theatre Royal Stratford East before it continues on tour to Canterbury (The Marlowe) and Edinburgh Festival Fringe (Pleasance Grand).
The cast bring to life eight fierce feminist anthems including Deeds Not Words, Fantastically Great and A World of Colour, as incredible women from history tell their story and inspire young heroine Jade. The cast featured on the album are Fayth Ifil (Britain's Got Talent, ITV; Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World, autumn tour), Jade Kennedy (The Snow Queen, Brighton Open Air Theatre; Billy Elliot, Victoria Palace Theatre), Renée Lamb (SIX, West End; Be More Chill, The Other Palace and Shaftesbury Theatre; Little Shop of Horrors, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre), Kudzai Mangombe (Malindadzimu, Hampstead Theatre),Christina Modestou (SIX, West End; We Will Rock You, Dominion Theatre; In The Heights, Southwark Playhouse) and Kirstie Skivington (Everybody's Talking About Jamie, Apollo Theatre and The Crucible Sheffield; Jesus Christ Superstar, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre; Bend It Like Beckham, Phoenix Theatre).
