Overview of this event
Magnifico Live presents The Blues Brothers & Aretha, a high-energy concert celebrating the unforgettable music of the Blues Brothers and the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin.
Audiences can expect over two hours of authentic blues and soul performed by a powerhouse cast. Brad Kendrick stars as Jake Blues, Tristan James as Elwood, and acclaimed musical theatre performer Asabi Goodman brings Aretha Franklin's iconic voice to life. Backed by the nine-piece Fabulous Blues Brothers Band, this show delivers a dynamic mix of rhythm, blues and gospel.
The performance features hits from the cult 1980 film including Shake a Tail Feather, Soul Man, Gimme Some Lovin', and Rawhide, alongside Aretha Franklin classics such as Respect, Think, and (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman.
With decades of combined stage experience, the cast brings charisma, powerhouse vocals and show-stopping energy to the stage. Asabi Goodman's roles in CHICAGO and Hairspray, Brad Kendrick's global Blues Brothers experience, and Tristan James' sharp comedic delivery promise a night of entertainment not to be missed.
Whether reliving the film's iconic moments or discovering the music for the first time, this concert is a celebration of soul, rhythm and live performance at its best.
