At Last - The Etta James Story UK Tour is back in this September and October starring Vika Bull. Book Now!
This smash-hit show saw its world premiere in Melbourne in 2013 and since then has packed theatres throughout Australia and New Zealand.
In 2017 At Last – The Etta James Story toured the UK, selling out theatres across the country, receiving 5 star reviews and multiple standing ovations wherever it played. By overwhelming demand, the show returns to the UK this autumn. Starring the sensational Vika Bull, At Last tells the story of soul legend Etta James’ turbulent life and features some of her most beloved songs including Tell Mama, Something’s Got A Hold On Me, Sugar On The Floor, the heart rending I’d Rather Go Blind, her iconic signature song At Last and more.
Vika puts her heart and soul into this unforgettable show and is joined on stage by some of the finest and funkiest musicians in the business.
During a long and tumultuous career that saw her win six Grammy Awards and a star on The Hollywood Walk Of Fame, Etta James influenced a vast array of artists from Diana Ross to The Rolling Stones and is acknowledged as inspiring the careers of a new generation of singers such as Christina Aguilera, Joss Stone, Adele and the late Amy Winehouse.
Sadly, Etta’s frantic recording and touring schedule coincided with her ever-growing addiction problems and over time she not only sang the blues…she lived the blues.
Mercifully, her passion for life and strength of character saw her conquer her demons and she continued to record and perform into her seventies.
With respect, this is her story.
Don’t miss re-living the soulful songs of Etta James, channelled through superstar Vika Bull and band.
