You don’t get a tribute show. You get a reinvention.

Drawing inspiration from artists like Sarah Vaughan, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Carmen McRae and Dionne Warwick, Charlee steps into a lineage of artists who reinterpret rather than imitate.

What happens when the world’s greatest rock band meets the voice of a new generation?

In Charlee Watt: Rolling the Stones, award-winning cabaret artist Charlee Watt dives head-first into the raw energy, swagger, and soul of The Rolling Stones — but with a twist.

Through bold new arrangements, witty storytelling, and an intimate personal connection, Charlee breathes fresh life into the songs you thought you knew, unearthing the stories that shaped her and the soundtracks that shaped the world. Expect powerhouse vocals, sharp humour, and a band that can turn on a dime from blistering rock to smoky jazz. At once a love letter and a reinvention, this show celebrates legacy while daring to ask what these songs mean to a young artist carving her own path. Whether you grew up with Charlie, Mick and Keith or are discovering their music anew, Rolling the Stones is an electrifying night of rock ’n’ roll reimagined.
