4.6/5
(3,261)
This project has a large amount of involvement from Tina Turner herself, who at a recent event said that the project brought her out of retirement. The musical was made with her blessing and features many of her best songs. The show is a must-watch for anyone familiar with the book written by Katori Hall and of course, Tina Tuner’s music because it highlights the often-overlooked personal struggles of the artist behind the music.
The Story
The story follows the life of Tina Turner, right from her beginnings in Nutbush, Tennessee, all the way to her relationship with Ike Turner and eventual comeback in her 40s. The musical shows us Tina's tryst with abuse and horror from her husband which finally ended in a divorce, after which she struggled to make it in the industry. The musical highlights her ability to overcome obstacles as she went on to become a solo rock 'n’ roll star.

Check in was SMOOTH! The seats easy to find! The staff was SUPER HELPFUL from front door men to the wait staff. The crowd was generally kind to each other, standing up and oetting others into the seats with a smile each time. The musical itself was AMAZING!!! The cast....BRILLIANT! I had the loveliest white couple behind me who came from Oxford and we all agreed it was money well spent! Absolutely BRILLIANT experience!Jessica

The story, the setting and the music were all there, but it's a shame we struggled to understand the words to the songs, which meant we lost a big part of the story.Ray
