About the Show

A jukebox musical about an iconic artist who didn’t just break the rules, she rewrote them.

A celebration of the 'Queen of Rock n' Roll' and her impact on the music industry. The show follows Tina, from her humble beginnings in Nutbush, Tennessee to the largest stages of the world. 'Tina, the Tina Turner Musical' charts this rock icon's journey from childhood to superstardom, featuring top record hits like 'River Deep Mountain High,' 'Proud Mary,' 'What's Love Got to Do With It,' 'The Best,' and many more.

Tina Turner is currently played by Nkeki Obi-Melekwe, who played the role on the West End right after graduating college, in her Broadway debut.

The book is by Katori Hall, who won the Pulitzer for 'The Hot Wing King,' with Frank Ketelaar and Kees Prins.

Critic Reviews (29)

For a previous production

"The ‘Tina’ Musical Is One Inch Deep, Mountain High: Tina Turner gets the bio-jukebox treatment, with all its lows (emaciated storytelling) and one of its peaks (a star-making performance from Adrienne Warren)."

For a previous production

3/5 Stars "These failings might not register as much in a lighthearted show, but they don't serve the seriousness of Turner's journey...Yet the production has two significant assets...Foremost, there is Warren, who delivers a performance of superhuman stamina and skill."
