{{Refimprove|date=February 2010}}The Sundowe is a musical written by Edinburgh-based writers and performers John, James and Gerry Kielty and featuring their band The Martians. The Sundowe was entered into the "Highland Quest For A New Musical" competition in early 2006 and was announced as the winner in July 2006.^[1] It was then produced by Cameron Mackintosh as a full stage musical, with the world premiere on 29 November 2007 at the new Eden Court Theatre in Inverness, Scotland.^[1]

Following a three-week run at Eden Court^[2] it toured the Scottish Highlands in January and February 2008.

The story line centres on The Martians themselves, as their street busking is interrupted by vampires, the local council and the return of dead souls. The musical is part comedy, part pathos, and includes references to modern Scottish politics, Greyfriars Bobby, street busking and ancient Scottish history.

It has been described as "Shaun of the Dead meets Thriller",^[3] and is influenced by cult science fiction such as Doctor Who and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
