What is TINA: The Tina Turner Musical about?

This wonderfully powerful new musical reveals the incredible life story of a woman who fought to be who she was born to be defying her age, gender and race. Tina Turner is one of the World’s best-selling artists in history. Her live shows have been seen by millions and she can boast to have sold more concert tickets than any other solo performer…. ever!

She first made headlines in the ‘60’s alongside her then husband Ike Turner and became a star performing timeless hits like River Deep-Mountain High, Proud Mary and A Fool in Love. Her marriage to Ike was unpredictable and when it ended, Tina found space to re-build her life and after her huge solo comeback in the ‘80’s, she was firmly the superstar we know and love today.
