How did Tina Turner break out of the Nutbush city limits to become one of the greatest artists ever. Join the queen of rock and roll in the West End and book Tina - The Tina Turner Musical tickets on TodayTix.
Since Tina - The Tina Turner Musical premiered at the West End’s Aldwych Theatre in 2018, we’ve all shaken our tail feathers with delight. The musical has dozens of chart-topping songs like “Let’s Stay Together” and “River Deep Mountain High.”
London Theatre praised that Tina has “everything you expected, executed well and packs in a few surprises… It's got the anthems, it's got the moves, it's got the hair.” By show's end, you’ll feel like you’re at a concert.
Tina - The Tina Turner Musical follows the journey of the multi-awarding artist. Meet Anna Mae Bullock during her humble childhood years in Nutbush, Tennessee, all the way to her multiple Grammy wins and a record-breaking concert in Rio de Janeiro. It’s not all good times in the spotlight though; the musical reflects on her struggle to launch her solo career, as well as her abusive relationship with Ike Turner.
Learn how Tina defied the bounds of her age, gender, and race in style. This isn’t a sob story. This is a story of hope, resilience, and pure determination.
