At Last – The Etta James Story

At Last – The Etta James Story


This smash-hit show saw its world premiere in 2013 and since then has played to packed theatres and thunderous applause throughout Australia and New Zealand. Having recently completed sell-out seasons in Melbourne and Sydney this incredible show returns once more to QPAC – for two shows only!

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, I’d Rather Go Blind, her iconic signature song At Last and more.

During a long career that saw her win six Grammy Awards and a star on The Hollywood Walk Of Fame, Etta James has influenced a vast array of artists. Sadly, her 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.

“Nobody does Etta better” Australian Stage
