Based on the book by Katori Hall, this musical celebrates the life of Tina Turner, both as a musician and as a human being with an indomitable will to succeed.
This project has a large amount of involvement from Tina Turner herself, who at a recent event said that the project brought her out of retirement. The musical was made with her blessing and features many of her best songs. The show is a must-watch for anyone familiar with the book written by Katori Hall and of course, Tina Tuner’s music because it highlights the often-overlooked personal struggles of the artist behind the music.
The Story
The story follows the life of Tina Turner, right from her beginnings in Nutbush, Tennessee, all the way to her relationship with Ike Turner and eventual comeback in her 40s. The musical shows us Tina's tryst with abuse and horror from her husband which finally ended in a divorce, after which she struggled to make it in the industry. The musical highlights her ability to overcome obstacles as she went on to become a solo rock 'n’ roll star.

Ordering tickets was very organized my only issue was checking into the theater and the web site was down. And I had just checked it before arriving at the theater. It ended up being resolved. Always pint out tickets!

I went for the more expensive tickets (GBP 68 each) and were disappointed with the seating as the full stage was not visible (restricted by the first floor seating). This was not clear at the time of booking. Such a pity as the show was great
