About this show
Official Fringe sell-out 2024 and 2025. It's the year 1954. Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James and Eartha Kitt are 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. 'Western is a force of nature... Great storyteller, feisty, highly enjoyable' * (BroadwayBaby.com). 'Absolutely brilliant... Her aptitude for music is vast and versatile' * (ThreeWeeks). 'Oozes with charisma' * (Edinburgh-Reviews.co.uk).
