We talked to theatre producer, Kenny Wax, about two of his productions currently on stage at The Lowry, Salford. Karen Ryder asks the questions.


FANTASTICALLY GREAT WOMEN WHO CHANGED THE WORLD
Empowering pop musical Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World returns to the stage in 2023 and 2024. This kick ass-pirational stage show, based on the popular children’s book by Suffragette relative Kate Pankhurst comes from one of the producers of SIX. Join our inquisitive heroine Jade as she breaks away from her class to take a peek behind the scenes at the not yet open Gallery of Greatness in the local museum. Along her journey she is surprised to meet the incredible wonder women: Frida Kahlo, Rosa Parks, Amelia Earhart, Mary Seacole, Marie Curie, Emmeline Pankhurst to name just a few. From explorers to artists, scientists to secret agents, hear the stories of some of history’s strongest mothers, sisters and daughters; all independent icons who really did change the world. FANTASTICALLY GREAT WOMEN WHO CHANGED THE WORLD is an empowering new stage show which will be celebrated by anyone who is prepared to move and be moved, with characters and songs that pack a popstar punch! 


WE'RE GOING ON A BEAR HUNT
See the smash-hit production of We’re Going on a Bear Hunt at the Lowry, as it returns vividly and noisily in director Sally Cookson’s fun-filled adaptation set to Benji Bower’s versatile lively score. Join our intrepid family of adventurers and their musical dog on a quest to find a bear; as they wade through the gigantic swishy swashy grass, the splishy splashy river and the thick oozy, squelchy mud! Expect catchy songs, interactive scenes, plenty of adventure and a few surprises along the way. Based on the much-loved picture book by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury, this mischievous celebration of play is the perfect treat for families with children aged 3 and up.
