ZooNation Records announce release date for SYLVIA - THE ESSENTIALS album
ZooNation Records have announced Sylvia – The Essentials, a 14-track album from the musical starring Beverley Knight, which will be released on 5 May and is now available for pre-order.
Produced by Grammy award-winning Martin Terefe and released by ZooNation Records, the second single ‘Stand Up’ has also been released today and is available to download on all streaming platforms now, with lead vocals by Sharon Rose, music by Josh Cohen and DJ Walde (additional music by Kate Prince), and lyrics by Kate Prince (additional lyrics by Tachia Newall).
Renowned singer/song writer and performer Beverley Knight MBE reprises her Olivier Award-winning role as Emmeline Pankhurst, alongside Sharon Rose as Sylvia in a UK tour culminating in a run at the Royal Albert Hall this Autumn.
Sylvia Pankhurst - fearless, flawed, and unforgettable. The untold story of the rebellious middle child of Emmeline Pankhurst takes centre stage in this irresistible hip hop, funk and soul musical that moves your feet and fires your spirit. Whilst her mother and sister battled for women's suffrage, Sylvia ignited a revolution for the forgotten: working women, the impoverished, the silenced. Caught between her family and her beliefs, Sylvia risked it all to bring change to millions.
Following its sell-out world premiere production at The Old Vic in 2023, Sylvia will visit Leicester Curve (24 Sep – 3 Oct), followed by Birmingham Hippodrome (6 – 10 Oct), Edinburgh Festival Theatre (13 – 17 Oct), Salford Lowry (19 – 24 Oct), Norwich Theatre (28 – 31 Oct), Canterbury Marlowe (2 – 7 Nov) before heading into the Royal Albert Hall on 13, 14 and 15 November.
The Olivier Award-winning electrifying musical is fuelled by an irresistible soundtrack by Josh Cohen, DJ Walde and Kate Prince that joyously unites hip hop, funk, and soul, and is brought to life on stage by world-renowned choreographer and storyteller Kate Prince (ZooNation).
