MAIDEN VOYAGE

About the show

It’s 1987 and young galley cook Tracy has just bought a ten year old, run down yacht. Her plan? To lead the first all-female sailing crew in an ocean race around the world. Charting a thrilling and unforgettable journey across oceans and horizons, the crew of the ‘Maiden’ are soon making history. But how did this young woman end up being the navigator and skipper on such a ground-breaking race? Was it a chance encounter with King Hussein of Jordan? Belief in herself and her team despite the odds? What is it that makes a person do the unexpected and extraordinary? With book and lyrics by Mindi Dickstein (‘Little Women’, ‘Benny & Joon’), music by Carmel Dean (‘Renascense’, ‘Well-Behaved Women’) and starring Chelsea Halfpenny (‘Waitress’ (UK tour), ‘Emmerdale’, ‘Casualty’), this epic true story comes to life in a sweeping, extraordinary new musical.
