After a 30-year delay in the departure lounge, The High Life returns in a new musical spectacular featuring all four original cast members – Alan Cumming, Forbes Masson, Siobhan Redmond and Patrick Ryecart.

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.
