MUSE/IQUE Presents ​

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF ETTA JAMES?​​

The Guts and Triumph of An American Icon
 

The complex life and powerful voice of Los Angeles native Etta James, whose musical journey through gospel and blues turned her into a rock ‘n’ roll innovator.​

 

Etta James’s commanding voice, iconic bleached blonde up-do, and timeless records have cemented her as a true legend.

​​

But to look past the mythology is to realize that much of Etta’s career required tenacity and transformation. When mounting one of her many comebacks, Etta called small clubs pretending to be her own management and asked, “Have you ever heard of Etta James?”

 

MUSE/IQUE celebrates the legacy of the woman who reinvented herself time and time again, and blended grit and beauty like no one else. With songs that showcase her mastery of genre, from “This Little Light of Mine” and “When the Saints Go Marching In” to her opus “At Last,” you’ll leave the show with a triumphant story, determined to be your best, most authentic self.
