Tina — The Tina Turner Musical

See it if MUST SEE! Fantastic acting/singing/dancing/sets. What a riveting, poignant and epic story! And add the music to it. AMAZING!

Don't see it if No reason not to. It's incredible!

See it if Best bio musical I have ever seen. Tina's story is epic & inspirational. You leave the theater on a high.

Don't see it if This has a very wide appeal. I don't know who wouldn't be able to appreciate the incredible story and performances.

Also We saw Kayla Davion as Tina (on her Debut performance as Tina) and she absolutely killed it! It was A Star is Born moment! We previously saw the show in London and Kayla is our favorite Tina. She blew us away and is definitely one to watch!... Read more Read less

See it if If you like Tina Turner s music, her life story and musicals that are juke box type.great singing and a good staging.

Don't see it if If you dont like big production musicals.

See it if u like Turner's music and want to see reenactments of her iconic videos & concert footage (albeit framed by an anemic, awkward, awful book).

Don't see it if you hope to see Turner's real-life turmoil/tragedy/struggles/resurgence dramatized & explored beyond a cursory scan of her Wikipedia page.

Also If ever there was a celebrity subject worthy of a large-scale musical, it's the tumultuous but inspiring life of Tina Turner. If ever there was a witless, sterile, jukebox musical unworthy of such a powerhouse talent, it's Tina - The Tina Turner Musical.

Some musical numbers (and those that are most effective) are just re-creations of Tina's original performances. Others use Turner's songs as just cheap, cheesy & inert ways to move the story along. (Example: Turner has a confrontation with her lover for whom she won't leave Ike. When he says, "But we're in love," Tina breaks out into "What's Love Got To Do With It" -- in a scene, incidentally, that precedes the release of that song by about 20 years). Ugh! The show ends with 15 minutes of crowd-pleasing, energetic concert performances that will leave most audiences satisfied & almost instantly erase the forgettable 2 1/2 hours that precede it.... Read more Read less

See it if Feel-good-bummer survivor/warrior bio-musicale propelled by an uber-archvillain as bonus to the legacy. Frightfully fierce.

Don't see it if Parts jukebox and concert. To not showcase such dynamic performers (via impersonation) would be disservice to both. Unavoidably unseemly...

Also ...Like waiting for the kid to get it, for it to ignite "Mum Dearest."

See it if Like/love Tina, hear great music, and have a good time. About her journey in life.

Don't see it if You dislike her music. Dislike musicals.

Also Adrienne Warren is excellant and fill with so much energy. The musician are great. The whole cast was great. I went like everybody else for I like her music. The show is pace is good. The section of the show they add the songs were good. I did not think I would enjoyed this as much as did.... Read more Read less

See it if You want a take on Tina Turner's career and to hear those songs she owns.

Don't see it if You want a well written story that integrates the music well into the story.

See it if You are a Tina Turner fan. You like music, musicals and stories about musical giants. If you are interested in stories about abuse.

Don't see it if If you do not like Tina Turner’s music or are not interested in her life story. If you are sensitive about stories of abuse & mistreatment.

See it if you are a fan!

Don't see it if you are bored by Tina's story

Also Adrienne doesn't exactly look like Tina, but she successfully makes you think she is TINA. Wonderful performance, as in typical musicals of this genre the music is occasionally out of date/time sequence, but in this show it works, great band, music you know, story you've heard... Read more Read less

See it if you are a fan of Tina Turner’s music; like jukebox musicals; or looking for a splashy, longish musical to round out a night in the city.

Don't see it if expecting suspense, shock, or strong story-telling; not a fan of Tina and/or Ike Turner’s music; triggered by domestic abuse and misogyny.

Also The Tina Turner Musical is a splashy and sparkly show. I enjoyed the origins of young Anna Mae Bullock (later Tina Turner), and the child-actress, and would’ve loved more glimpses of her youthful tenacity. Adrienne Warren’s voice is phenomenal: there’s no question why she was nominated for an Olivier for her portrayal. What often bothers me about jukebox musicals like this is how little attention is paid to the effects of sexism, violence, and abuse. While there are some shocking moments, it’s swept away with sunny songs and sparkly garb. While there’s something in that—the power of art is that it is healing and transporting—to gloss over tragedy and pain so easily can be discomforting. Still, Tina is one of the better jukebox musicals in recent years; it has more of a “story,” character development, and contagious energy. You’ll forgive the sometimes uneven, predictable book due to the heart behind it all. Mostly, you’ll be enlivened thanks to the music and the redemption it brings.... Read more Read less

See it if like bio/jukebox musicals. a powerful performance in a simplistic script. a lot of time is covered so it goes by quickly.

Don't see it if don't like bio or jukebox musicals. characters are characters - no depth. orchestration and background vocals on all songs are annoying.

See it if Super high energy, excellent singing and dancing with moving renditions of her songs. General jukebox biopic of her life.

Don't see it if Domestic abuse and racism occur quickly and not dwelled/reflected upon much. Doesn't go that deep but very entertaining show.

Also Diversity: Black woman protagonist who's a survivor of domestic abuse. Mostly Black cast.
Ticket from online lottery for $48. Seat on front row side, partial view.
Disclaimer: I don't know much of Tina Turner's life, so I don't know how accurate the plot was.... Read more Read less

See it if you are a fan of Tina Turner and her music.

Don't see it if you want a show that goes deep into her story. Felt like they only scratched the surface on some plot points

Also Don't want to take anything away from the performances, which were wonderful, but the story felt a little rushed in favor of big, bold, brassy production numbers with Tina's signature electrifying moves (which were great). The show was very entertaining, but I wanted more of her story. I thought some songs were cleverly used--especially when they were outside of the timeline (in other words, songs from her later career were used to advance the story in her early years). There was one song that was popularized by another artist that apparently Turner recorded first, but I suspect most people won't know that (I googled it after). While very appropriate to the moment, I was confused until I learned it was her song. A couple other songs felt a little forced into the story. Overall, my biggest problems were with the book, but the musical numbers were well performed and I was on my feet for curtain call along with everyone else in the audience. And isn't that what matters?... Read more Read less

Don't see it if frequent and casual violence against women and children bothers you; you're fundamentally opposed to jukebox musicals

See it if Adrienne Warren (100): Tony worthy. Long live Tina.

Don't see it if Another Jukebox, thankfully story is engaging

See it if You love Tina Turner, or want to see a jukebox musical that avoids most of the mistakes of the genre. Ike and Tina were extraordinary.

Don't see it if You don’t like Tina, are tired of the genre, want an original musical, or prefer songs that fit the story, and don’t feel shoehorned in.

Also The first act was a little clunky, like most jukebox musicals. But, by the time this ends, you’ll leave with a huge smile on your face.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to see one of the best performances by an actress in a musical that has existed. Adrienne Warren is electric as TIna!

Don't see it if visual depiction of serious of abuse/domestic violence is triggering. The show is very depressing until the very end for the encore.

See it if you want to see a fantastic performance by Adrienne Warren. A force of nature! Any Tina fan should see it.

Don't see it if you expect a jukebox musical to have a good book. Songs like Private Dancer are squeezed uncomfortably into the story. Show is too long.

See it if you want to see one of the single-best performances of generations -- Warren IS Turner

Don't see it if you hate jukebox musicals, don't like Tina Turner or can't handle stories of abuse.

Don't see it if You don't like Tina's music,

Also This was a high energy musical. Adrienne Warren inhabits the spirit of Tina. This is the best kind of jukebox musical -- telling her story with her music. I did however think that toward the end she looked a little too young. The crowd loved it and was moving to the music.... Read more Read less

See it if electrifying musical with a powerhouse performance by Adrienne Warren.Epic! It spans four decades of Tina's life.Uplifting,&timely.See it!!

Don't see it if you are uncomfortable with scenes of domestic violence.See it anyway,this show speaks to the resilience of the human spirit.

Also Adrienne Warren was really phenomenal!She embodied Tina Turner's grit,strength,and vulnerability. Great performance! I predict a Tony nomination for her.Bravo!... Read more Read less

See it if You can see Warrens role of a lifetime. Stunning.

Don't see it if Your REALLY dislike musical biopics. But...the Turner music ( especially Warren) is phenomenal.

See it if You know for sure you’re seeing Adrienne Warren. I hear she’s sublime.

Don't see it if You’re expecting a good show. The great Tina songs are there, barely held together with a script out of Wikipedia.

Also I didn’t dislike the understudy I saw, and I don’t blame her for not being able to elevate a deeply subpar script. Nonetheless, having heard the raves across the board for Warren, I was disappointed to see such a turgid piece of storytelling with projections that would be better suited to a karaoke bar.... Read more Read less

See it if WOW, what a great show. Thoroughly enjoyable, real, and so high energy. Highly recommend it!

Don't see it if you dislike Tina's music, are triggered by portrayal of domestic abuse, don't like loud, concert like productions or bright lights
