Google Evolution Productions and Jo ParsonsAbout the show
Shantify is a 60-minute musical show by Evolution Productions and Jo Parsons, performed at Palais du Variété as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. A nautical musical adventure starring a crew of West End performers, the show turns show tunes, rock classics and pop bangers into sea shanties, weaving them into a joyous story. Now in its second year at the Fringe, the production is family-friendly and suitable for all ages. Tickets are £13 and no content warnings apply.
Why see this show?
There is genuine craft in the concept — taking familiar songs from different genres and reworking them as sea shanties is not a lazy premise. The harmonies and storytelling are the draw, and the family-friendly format means it works for mixed groups.
