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 Exactly what you think it would be. Weak story, amazing singing. Adrienne Warren was so unbelievable - triple threat for sure!

Don't see it if You don't like jukebox musicals. This fits the formula to a tee. That said, see it for Adrienne.

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 to see the story of a woman who overcame a horrible marriage and became her own woman. Powerful story very well told and sung.

Don't see it if you don't like to see violence against women on stage. Some parts of show are disturbing but every man should see this show, young and old.

Also I expected great singing and staging and good music but I didn't expect to be so moved. The end of act one left me in tears. Important alert-do not leave early after curtain calls. Some of the best musical numbers are done after the curtain calls and a great band is show cased on stage.... 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 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 an unforgettable, visceral, electric performance by Adrienne Warren elevates this somewhat formulaic jukebox musical to the heights.

Don't see it if not a Tina Turner fan, tho Warren may change that. She's that good.

Also The last 10 or so minutes where the Warren & the cast just sing & dance their hearts out had the audience ( who included Bill & Hillary Clinton on this night) on their feet screaming & cheering. Wow!... Read more Read less

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 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 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 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 ever loved any of the song stylings of Miss Tina Turner and were curious to find out the story behind the woman who made those song famous.

Don't see it if you have been living under a rock within the the last 60 years and have no idea who Tina Turner is. SHAME ON YOU!

Also Broadway actress Adrienne Warren brings to life the DIVA we have come to know as Tina Turner eight times a week. Ms. Warren has taken every hip gyration, head snap, and leg shake and fused it with her own God given voice to transform herself into the embodiment of Tina Tuner night after night electrifying audiences first in London's West End and now here on New York's Broadway stage. It is a transformation worth the cost of a top priced ticket and an experience NOT to be missed.... 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 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
