Book tickets now for Sylvia, the Olivier Award–winning musical starring stage veteran Beverley Knight.

Sylvia in London

Following a sellout run at The Old Vic, Sylvia returns to London with an electrifying mix of hip hop, funk and soul, celebrating Sylvia Pankhurst – the fearless activist who fought for social justice and equality

Beverley Knight (The Drifters Girl, Sister Act), who won a 2023 Olivier Award for her role in Sylvia, stars as Emmeline Pankhurst alongside Naomi Katiyo (Hamilton, Just For One Day: The Live Aid Musical) as her daughter Sylvia, the lesser-known Pankhurst at the heart of the Suffragette movement.

Set against the backdrop of the Suffragette movement, Sylvia tells the remarkable story of a woman torn between family, politics and passion. With its rousing score, powerful choreography and inspiring true story, Sylvia is a must-see musical event that celebrates rebellion, resilience and the fight for equality.

This spectacular revival is directed and choreographed by Kate Prince (ZooNation: The Kate Prince Company), with music by Josh Cohen and DJ Walde, and plays the Royal Albert Hall from 13 to 15 November 2026
