An Evening Without Kate Bush

Sarah-Louise Young brings An Evening Without Kate Bush to the Worthing Pavilion Theatre on Wednesday 17 February 2027. It's a cabaret show built around the music of Kate Bush, and Young is the one on stage performing it.

Young is a cabaret regular, known for Fascinating Aïda, Showstopper! The Improvised Musical and Cabaret Whore. She put this one together with Russell Lucas, who co-created Julie Madly Deeply. They describe it as a chaotic cult cabaret that invites the audience to release their inner Kate Bush, and it follows the stories of the singer's loyal followers through her music, celebrating one of the most influential voices in British pop culture across five decades.

The set pairs the big hits—'Running Up That Hill', 'Cloudbusting', 'The Man With The Child In His Eyes', 'This Woman's Work' and 'Babooshka'—with B-sides, bootlegs and unique takes on her songs. It's not just a run-through of the hits, then; it reaches into the deeper cuts too. The show has won awards and built its own cult following, with Attitude magazine calling it a 'brilliant dissection of the diva's genius'.

It runs from 7:30pm to 9:20pm, so it's a good hour and fifty minutes. Tickets start at £18.75, and groups of six or more get 10% off. There's an age guidance of 12+, with some discussions of mental ill health.
