See it if This show was entertaining whilst raising our attention to the tough life Tina had, and how resilient she was in continuing her music.
Don't see it if Some parts are hard to watch but they make up the whole of this persons life.
See it if Excellent singing, with the lead act doing justice to Tina and the child act doing justice to Anna Mae.
Don't see it if You don't like lots of singing and also the factual domestic violence Tina was subjected to in her childhood and adult life.
See it if You want a high energy brilliant vibe, voices and staging
Don't see it if You’re a bore
See it if It was incredible.Powerful yet sad story, and really amazing cast. The last 15 minutes was like being in a real TT concert too.
Don't see it if Quite heavy scenes at times due to the hard life she had (DV theme) but so worth a watch!!!
See it if You'd like to see what Tina's upbringing and life was all the way from young age to bring a worldwide recognized singer
Don't see it if Tina Turner isn't your thing

Is a feelgood jukebox musical the absolute best medium to tell a story about domestic abuse? Put crudely, that is the problem at the heart of big-budget global premiere...Don’t get me wrong: it’s an entertaining night, brilliantly performed.

Despite the show’s creative pedigree, with Mamma Mia! director Phyllida Lloyd at the helm and a book by The Mountain-top writer Katori Hall, nothing about the production is particularly interesting or innovative. It’s a standard bio-musical...

What a pity, then, that this musical never fully sparks into life...Yet the material surprisingly lacks rigour, too often staying in soft-focus when a more forensic examination is required...

"Is a feelgood jukebox musical the absolute best medium to tell a story about domestic abuse? Put crudely, that is the problem at the heart of big-budget global premiere ‘Tina'. The erstwhile Anna Mae Bullock’s eventful life and beloved back catalogue are perfect subjects for adaptation. But too often Phyllida Lloyd’s production struggles to make a sensitive synthesis of the two...Lloyd directs fluidly and at a pace, but there is, also, a weird feeling of it being clogged with ephemera."

Born in the USA, made in England. That’s the thesis of this slickly choreographed, beautifully designed and roof-raisingly well-sung bio-musical about Tina Turner...

The problem for me is that, at least for the first act which charts her relationship with Ike, what we actually witness is a strong woman being brought down by multiple acts of violence.

[The] greatest hits should satisfy the Tina superfans, but there’s an unresolved tension here between producing a genuinely satisfying musical drama, and just surrendering to a great night out. This mould-breaking artist deserves more.

Phyllida Lloyd’s musical is a heady celebration of triumph over adversity...As bio-musicals go, this is as good as it gets.
