Aisha Jawando and Jammy Kasongo will lead the cast as Tina and Ike in Tina – The Tina Turner Musical as the hit production enters its third year in the West End.  Joining them and making her West End debut is Chanel Haynes as the alternate Tina.

Based on the life of legendary artist Tina Turner, over 200,000 new tickets are now on sale for Tina – The Tina Turner Musical which is booking at the Aldwych Theatre to 23 January 2021.

Having originally played Tina’s sister Alline Bullock, Aisha Jawando who has been with the company since its world premiere in Spring 2018, will continue in the title role.  Jammy Kasongo, who also was a member of original company and then played the roles of Richard and Raymond, steps up to play the role of Ike.  Chanel Haynes will perform the iconic role of Tina at certain performances.

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.
