From humble beginnings in Nutbush, Tennessee, to her transformation into the global Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Tina Turner didn’t just break the rules, she rewrote them. This new stage musical, presented in association with Tina Turner herself, reveals the untold story of a woman who dared to defy the bounds of her age, gender and race.
The critically acclaimed production received its world premiere in April 2018 in London and subsequently has broken all Box Office records at the Aldwych Theatre. The musical is now also playing on Broadway at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, in Hamburg at the Stage Operettenhaus and at the Beatrix Theater in Utrecht, Netherlands.
