About the Marie Curie Musical

Marie Curie: physicist, pioneer, parent. She is determined to make a name for herself when she travels from her native Poland to study at Sorbonne University in Paris, and she succeeds. After discovering Radium, Marie becomes the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize and her research could save thousands of lives afflicted by cancer. But it comes at a moral cost: factory workers handling the new chemical element are struck down by the insidious effects of radium poisoning. Is her discovery a blessing, a curse, or both?

The Marie Curie musical is a sweeping tribute to one of history’s biggest changemakers and the barriers she broke to get her research out into the world. After premiering in South Korea in 2020 - where its filmed broadcast attracted 790,000 viewers - it now comes to the UK for its English-language premiere.
