Red: A Musical Revue of Redheads

If you are looking for something a bit different to brighten up a cold February evening, Komedia Brighton is hosting a new musical cabaret show called Red: A Musical Revue of Redheads. It’s scheduled for Thursday, February 12, and it sounds like a perfect blend of elegance and fun. The show is specifically set in the Komedia Studio, which usually offers a more intimate setting for these kinds of performances at 44-47 Gardner Street. The whole concept is a celebration of iconic redhead stars from musical theatre and the silver screen, promising a night that has been described as 'classy, sassy, and fabulous'.

Leading this revue is the international cabaret siren, Amber Topaz. She’s the main voice bringing this tribute to life, focusing on legendary artists who happen to be redheads. We’re talking about figures like Rita Hayworth, Bette Midler, Bernadette Peters, Shirley McLaine, and Gwen Verdon—a serious lineup of talent to draw inspiration from. The show promises a cocktail of Old Hollywood glamour mixed with classics from West End and Broadway, all under the direction of Nikki Woollaston. It sounds like they are aiming for a sophisticated, yet cheeky, evening of music that honours these stage and screen icons.

If this sounds like your kind of night, mark your calendar for Thursday, February 12, 2026. Doors open at 7:30 PM, with the show kicking off half an hour later at 8:00 PM. It’s worth noting that seating is unreserved, so if you want a good spot, arriving when doors open might be wise. Access-wise, it’s an event for those aged 16 and over. For those planning their budget, the standard entry fee is £15.00, making it a paid event at one of Brighton’s key independent entertainment venues.
