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.
The High Life - The Musical will tour in Spring 2026 beginning at Dundee Rep Theatre (27 March to 4 April & 6 to 9 May) before heading to Festival Theatre, Edinburgh (7 to11 Apr); His Majesty’s Theatre, Aberdeen (14 to 18 Apr); Eden Court Inverness (29 Apr to 2 May) and King’s Theatre, Glasgow (12 to 23 May) in Spring 2026.
