Melissa Western presents 1954: Ella, Etta, Eartha

Fresh from sellout shows and 5-star reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe, Melissa Western and team bring their internationally acclaimed show back to the BJC.

It's the year 1954. Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James and Eartha Kitt are all at the dizzy heights of their careers. With swinging jazz, powerful soul and cheeky kitsch, these women broke new ground for all who followed. Award-winning singer/actor Melissa Western and her musicians pay tribute to this magnificent era in music and inspiring trio of pioneering singers. 50s’ style abounds.
