About Tina: The Tina Turner Musical
This is the incredible true story of Tina Turner’s life both on and off stage. Born in 1939 in Nutbush, Tennessee, Tina Turner grew from humble beginnings to a world-famous, chart-topping superstar. Shooting to fame during the 1960s with her partner Ike Turner, their dramatic break-up led to Tina embarking on an international solo career. She went on to deliver countless chart-topping hits, became a 12-time Grammy Award-winner, sold more concert tickets than any other solo artist in history and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.Although Tina's life and career has been previously dramatised on stage and screen, including in the 1993 film What's Love Got to Do with It? starring Angela Bassett, Tina: The Tina Turner Musical is the first to be presented in association with Tina Turner herself. Turner was involved in the early stages of development, attending workshops for the musical and giving the creative team her blessing to adapt her story for the stage. In reference to the show, she stated that "each night I want audiences to take away from the theatre that you can turn poison into medicine."
