Babooshka is a joyous, theatrical homage to one of pop’s most singular voices — Kate Bush. Performed by The KB Band, the show brings Bush’s world of drama, poetry and play to life with fearless energy and lush musicianship. Expect the classics — “Running Up That Hill”, “Wuthering Heights”, “Cloudbusting” — alongside deep cuts and reimagined arrangements. It’s both tribute and interpretation: a celebration of the artist who made art-pop mystical and strange again. Babooshka invites audiences not just to listen, but to inhabit the imaginative, emotional world Kate Bush created. With vocals that soar and a band that understands the eccentric heartbeat of Bush’s music, Babooshka channels longing and nostalgia into performance art.
Premiered at the 2025 Castlemaine Fringe Festival
