Jet Set Go!
theSpace on Niddry St

This cult show set with in the high flying world of airline cabin crew can be hit or miss! On this occasion go fly productions pulls it off in style.

Under the direction of Florence Carr the story of four female and two male cabin staff (the males obviously gay) as they take a journey to New York and back with the realisation that love eludes them and just like Fame Love costs. The show offers a mix of musical styles all enhances by the onstage band which includes a violin to great effect.

In terms of spotlight each member of the cast gets there moment to shine but none more so than Martin Kent’s performance as Richard, if you think Alan Cumming in the High Life that’s exactly what Martin is presenting on stage with the addition of compassion added to the sassiness. He shares a duet wonderfully with talented Jack Mosedale as Ryan the boy who wants love but not the campery surrounding the cabin crew lifestyle.

The overall effect of the piece is of fun, laughter and no matter what happens we need to feel loved for who and what we are. This is one musical worth catching down Niddry Street.
