Kate! – The Kate Bush Story

Catherine Bush wrote her first song at the piano as a reserved teenager. Years later, she was known worldwide for her crystal-clear voice, her theatrical stage presence and her ability to wrap stories in music that is hard to forget. Yet Kate Bush remained an enigma to many: she avoided the press, rarely gave interviews and seldom set foot on a stage. In 2014 she broke that pattern with a series of concerts in London, which she sold out within fifteen minutes. It is precisely those contrasts, the withdrawal and the magnetic presence, that make her so fascinating.

Kate Bush tribute at Theater Ludens in The Hague

Kate! is the leading Dutch Kate Bush tribute band, known from television programmes such as The Tribute and Battle Of The Bands. In The Kate Bush Story, singer Suzanne Sanders connects the songs with Kate's life story: where she came from, how she carved her own path in the music world and why she continues to draw fans across generations. The result is an intimate theatre experience that goes well beyond a standard concert.

From 'Wuthering Heights' to forgotten gems

The big hits are all here, of course. 'Wuthering Heights', the debut single that made Kate famous overnight in 1978, and 'Running Up That Hill', which found a new generation of fans through Stranger Things. But The Kate Bush Story goes further than the well-known tracks. Suzanne Sanders also shines a light on lesser-heard songs that reveal just how many sides Kate Bush had as a composer and lyricist. The show blends musical nostalgia with fresh perspective, for long-time fans and first-time listeners alike.
