Jet Set Go!, the "cabin crew musical" that delighted audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe between August 2 and 24, is ready to take off for London. This highly entertaining new musical, with book and lyrics by Jake Brunger and music by Pippa Cleary will enjoy a short run at Theatre 503 from Tuesday September 2 until Saturday September 6.

The show will again be staged by Take Note Theatre, a progressive new theatre company that originated out of Bristol University with a specific focus on bringing both new and lesser known  musicals to new audiences. Jet Set Go was developed specifically by the company working in concert with the writers.

A sell out run at the Fringe not only earned the show a collection of four and five star reviews but also grabbed the attention of this year's MTM:UK awards panel, who noted the "promise in the theatre song-writing and writing team of Jake Brunger and Pippa Cleary" as well as the achievements of Take Note's director Luke Sheppard and producer Margot Johnson.

The youthful talents of Jet Set Go's creative team were ably served at Edinburgh's intimate George Square 2 venue by an equally talented young cast of eight (Sarah Barratt, Katie Birtill, Kaytee Crook, Maddie Moate, Nick Cork, Alex Johnston, Tom Lee and Mark Senior). The cast will recreate their roles for the performances at Theatre 503's equally intimate space above the Latchmere Pub in Battersea. (www.theatre503.com)
