Set to the soundtrack of her iconic hits, including The Best, What’s Love Got To Do With It?, Private Dancer and River Deep, Mountain High, the musical is an inspiring true story of a woman who dared to dream fiercely, shatter barriers and defy the bounds of age, gender, and race to conquer the showbiz world against all odds.
Announcing the news, producer Tali Pelman told the Daily Echo: "Tina Turner played to packed out arenas across the UK and Ireland throughout her extensive career. We’re thrilled to now be able to bring her extraordinary story to stages across the UK and Ireland for the first time with Tina - The Tina Turner Musical, celebrating the life and times of a truly inspirational woman whose story continues to move and elate audiences around the world every night.”
