What Is The Story
Tina Turner's turbulent career is the stuff of music legend, with her iconic songs often masking the dramatic goings-on behind the scenes. Her inspiring story was first told in the 1993 made-for-TV movie What's Love Got to Do with It, which followed her rise to fame, and her struggle to break free from her abusive husband and manager Ike Turner. Following an incredible comeback in the early '80s, Tina is now considered to be one of the best-selling artists of all time - and the reigning Queen of Rock 'n' Roll. She has garnered 11 Grammy Awards and three Grammy Hall of Fame awards, plus a legion of fans the world over.

A rolling success!
Fans of all ages were whooping from the first bars of the first song (Nutbush City Limits - what else?) And the high never really stops as Adrienne Warren delivers simply the best performance as the Queen of Rock and Roll.

Tina
I went to see the show last week with my wife to celebrate my birthday. It was a great show that told the Tina Turner story very well and included great songs, moments of laughter and sadness.
The show had a spectacular ending where Elesha Paul Moses (Tina) come into her own and stole the show.I am sure we will see her in many more starring roles in the future.
Great show

Tina - Simply the Best
I really had no expectations and was interested to find out about her story. This musical was heart wrenching even a shock to the system story and so uplifting at the same time. The story is incredible and the way they interspersed the music was fantastic. I was in tears several times during the performance. I’ve probably been to 30 or more musicals in my lifetime and I can say without hesitation this was the best musical I have ever seen! ... Read more
