LAST CHANCE TO SEE TINA: THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL ON BROADWAY - CLOSING 14 AUGUST, 2022
Following its electrifying premiere in London's West End, Tina Turner's spectacular bio-musical has landed on Broadway!
Directed by Phyllida Lloyd (Mamma Mia, The Iron Lady) with a book by Katori Hall, Frank Ketelaar, and Kees Prins, as well as music by the great Tina Turner (of course), Tina has all the right ingredients to get your heart racing and feet stomping. Telling the story of Tina's extraordinary life and career, from her childhood days in Nutbush to her turbulent marriage and stratospheric success, we invite you to ride the highs and lows of Tina's story in this opulent and glittering musical.
The one, the only... Tina Turner!
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.

Enjoyable Performance
My wife and I truly enjoyed Tina. The set itself is simple but nicely done. The sound system excellent trebles and deep and rich bass. Adrienne Warren did an incredible job. Her voice and timbre is very close to Tina's. The young Anna-Mae (played by Mehret Marsh) also is to be commended for an awesome performance. The Ikettes also did an incredible performance. The Buddhist chants add to the authenticity of Tina seeking peace in her hard life. The story itself in my opinion is a little weak, perhaps because there is just not enough time to tell Tina's life story in the allotted time. For Tina's fan the chronology of the songs maybe disturbing. For example, when Ike proposes the song she sang is "Better be Good to me" and we all know that song was not from 1962 but rather when Tina came back in 1984. There is also some song choices questionable to the actual scene, for example Tina singing "River Deep Mountain High" just after getting a beating from Ike. The song "Private Dancer" should have been replaced because Tina never went that low to become a prostitute. Instead they could have spent a little time showing the triumphant Tina in Mad Max when "We don't need another hero" was featured. I also would have like to hear other songs from the 90's and 2000's but like I said, there is just not enough time. All in all, the story of a rock and roll queen who dragged herself out from a life of being abused to a success is worth the show. ... Read more
