Sarah-Louise Young delivers an outstanding tribute to the musical icon Kate Bush. She immerses the audience in Bush’s world through her captivating performance of song, dance, and theatrical movements, all signature elements of Bush’s style.

From the very beginning, Young engages the audience, encouraging participation in songs and inviting a few lucky members on stage to join her throughout the show. Her excellent sense of humour, never mocking, perfectly captures the eccentricity and charm that made Kate Bush so beloved. She shares a hilarious story about impersonating Bush during a school assembly as a child and we are given a demonstration of the six iconic movements that Kate uses in her performances.

Young’s attention to detail is impeccable, reflected in her use of outfits, wigs, and props that mirror Bush’s unique sense of style. However, it is her extraordinary voice that truly shines, delivering powerful renditions of the songs that catapulted Kate Bush to fame. Throughout the performance, the presence of Kate Bush is palpable in the room.

This show is a must-see for Kate Bush fans and an incredible cabaret experience that keeps the audience thoroughly engaged from start to finish.
