To celebrate International Women’s Day 2025, the innovative audio musical Hatched! has
announced the release of its new album. Recorded by a West End cast, the hotly anticipated
soundtrack will be available across streaming sites from 7th March featuring twenty energising
and inspiring songs from the show which were initially included within the hit nine-part audio
series released last summer. Having made a splash across social media with the song Pink,
alongside other fan favourites, Invisible and Talk To The Wing, Hatched! perfectly blends fun and
adventure for younger listeners, with exciting and empowering fire-in-your-belly content for
adults.
An upbeat new musical filled with soaring vocals and catchy tunes, Hatched! explores female
empowerment and champions equality with the hope of inspiring females and allies of all ages.
Set on a mythical island where the female birds aren’t allowed to fly, Fallon and her friends set
out to change the rules and make the island a fairer place for their new chicks who are about to
hatch.
Hatched! was originally written and recorded during the pandemic as an audio musical, and was
released for free on podcast sites in a groundbreaking move to help make musical theatre and
the message of equality accessible to all. The audio show has been listened to in an impressive
54 countries around the world to date and was a finalist in the Stiles & Drewe Prize in 2024.
Writer Lydia Shaw comments, We created Hatched! to inspire and empower women and girls of
all ages, while welcoming allies into the conversation. The songs are fun but meaningful—
uplifting and upbeat while tackling real issues, with lyrics that feel like mantras of self-worth,
strength and hope. It’s Matilda meets Six meets Suffs!
Edward Court adds, We’re thrilled to have an incredible lineup of seasoned West End performers
lending their sensational vocals to the album. Hearing these characters come to life through such
captivating performances is truly a joy.
