Following sold-out seasons, five-star reviews and more than 400 performances around the world, An Evening Without Kate Bush starring Sarah-Louise Young, returns to Australia this October with performances in Melbourne, Brisbane, Brunswick Heads and Sydney.
Audiences of the cult cabaret are invited to enter Strange Phenomena, howl with the Hounds of Love and dance on the moors with Wuthering Heights all over again. An Evening Without Kate Bush pays glorious tribute to the music, fans (known as Fish People) and mythology of one of the most influential voices in pop music.
The work features classic hits including Running Up That Hill, Cloudbusting and The Man With The Child In His Eyes, alongside the odd, unexpected bootleg or B-side, as well as unique takes on This Woman’s Work and Babooshka.
With inventive stagecraft, a wildly wonderful voice and mesmerising performance from Sarah-Louise Young, the show based on years of Bush-related research, delves into the phenomenal fan base that Kate Bush has inspired since she first topped the UK charts in 1978.
The production has had three sold-out, critically acclaimed runs at Edinburgh Fringe, two seasons in London’s West End Soho Theatre and toured the United Kingdom from 2020-2026.
The work enjoyed full houses and enraptured audiences throughout Australasia when it toured in 2025, as well as a previous seasons at Sydney Festival, Adelaide Fringe and Perth’s Fringe World in 2024 and Adelaide Cabaret Festival in 2023, among others.
An Evening Without Kate Bush beckons audiences whether a decades long fan or have recently joined the shoal via Stranger Things, to release their inner Bush and celebrate this joyful, mind-blowing show.
