The High Life returns in a new musical spectacular featuring all four original cast members - Alan Cumming, Forbes Masson, Siobhan Redmond and Patrick Ryecart.

The High Life. The Musical. Still Living it!

Oh dearie me! Air Scotia has been sold, and unless our intrepid cabin crew can prove they’re still fit for purpose it looks like the future destination for Air Scotia is the scrap heap. In this flight for their lives, our cut-price cabin crew must get themselves (and their passengers) to their destination safely, testing their mettle and putting decades old friendships and rivalries finally to rest.

Based on the original much loved BBC Scotland cult comedy series, this revival sees our iconic characters finding themselves growing older in an ever-changing world. It’s wickedly funny, features new and original music, is stuffed full of camp silliness and is cleared for take-off.

"Wow. The High Life is one of the most high production, funniest, best written show I've ever seen! The set was outstanding and the characters were immaculate.

I loved Miley and he actually had me fooled too! The plot twists were so gripping and the show was fun but also mysterious.

I loved the comedic references and the chaotic duo of Steve and Sebastian.

The singing was also out of this world it was so good, I loved Captain Duff's song and Shona's song the most! Captain Duff's song made me feel like I was in a movie or a video game and Shona's song was like something out of a movie the way she appeared out of the smoke.

All the characters and actors done an amazing job and the music orchestra I think in the back was outstanding too!

Please go see this show if you have the chance it was an amazing time."
