About this event
She was revered by millions for her virtuosity & definitive renditions of 'Feeling Good', 'My Baby Just Cares For Me' and 'I Put A Spell On You'. But how did little Eunice Wayman, with her dreams of becoming a concert pianist, overcome a life of adversity to become one of the most important voices in American history?
Following their award-winning, sold-out season at Fringe World 2020, West End Actress/Singer Simone Craddock, and multi-instrumentalist Adrian Galante, join forces once more to explore the inspiring life and music of The High Priestess of Soul.
