OBSERVER: An Evening Without Kate Bush


Arts Centre Melbourne and Hey Dowling present An Evening Without Kate Bush from October 13-18 at the Fairfax Studio, Arts Centre Melbourne.
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 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 an unexpected bootleg or B-side as well as unique takes on This Woman’s Work and Babooshka.
Featuring 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.
An Evening Without Kate Bush is said to be suitable for 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.
