Kaylee's Big Party

The idea of a party with music, dancing, and storytelling may sound simple, but when it's a Ceilidh, it's an experience like no other. For over two hours, you'll be treated to barnstorming reels, shared pints, and razor-sharp wit as an intimate family story unfolds. The music starts, the caller speaks, and everyone listens, drawn into a world of tradition and heritage. As old songs surface and tensions flare between the generations, one family confronts what gets passed down, what gets left behind, and why this gathering matters more than any before.

At the helm of this production are acclaimed Scottish duo Scott Gilmour and Claire McKenzie, who have written the story, and Tony Award winner Sam Pinkleton, who directs with his trademark anarchic flair. The result is a powerhouse company of 16 actor musicians who bring Ceilidh to life with energy, passion, and talent. With a background that includes a sold-out US run and a debut at Alan Cumming's inaugural season at Pitlochry Festival Theatre, this musical is sure to delight audiences of all ages.

On Thursday, 29 October 2026, Ceilidh will arrive at the Theatre Royal Brighton, Brighton, where it will run until Friday, 13 November 2026. Whether you come alone, with friends, or with family, you'll be made to feel welcome at this joyful and heart-warming celebration of Scottish culture. With no experience required, you can simply show up and let the music, stories, and dances sweep you off your feet.

The unique format of Ceilidh, which combines dances on the floor with stories from your seat, ensures that every audience member is fully immersed in the experience. As the night unfolds, you'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll dance, making memories that will last long after the curtain falls.
