You may already be familiar with Tina Turner's life story. But no show tells it quite like this. Her story was first presented to audiences in the 1993 autobiographical film, *What's Love Got to Do with It?*. Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne played the musical pair on screen. In 2012, her life was immortalised in the *Soul Sister* musical. 

But if you’re looking for a fuller picture of what it's like to live in and out of the public eye, you need to see *Tina - The Tina Turner Musical* in London. The formidable artist was involved with the show’s creation, teaming up with director Phyllida Lloyd for how to present her story best.

During the show, you’ll hear dozens of her greatest hits, as well as Motown classics. Listen out for all the crowdpleasers, like  "What's Love Got to Do With It," "Proud Mary." “River Deep Mountain High," and "Better Be Good To Me."

### What is *Tina - The Tina Turner Musical* about? 

Born as Anna Mae Bullock on 26 Nov. 1939 in Nutbush, Tennessee, the recording artist shot to fame in the mid-1950s singing with Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm. She originally went under the name "Little Ann”, but in 1960, Ike Turner gave her the moniker “Tina Turner.” The musical charts Tina's life away from the public eye too, notably how Tina split from Ike Turner in 1976 after being a victim of domestic abuse. Nowadays, Tina Turner lives in Küsnacht, Switzerland.

To become a star, it’s about the journey, not the destination. Created with Turner herself, this musical offers an inside look at the life behind the music. Tina Turner’s barrier-smashing, record-breaking life comes to the stage with a score of her greatest hits. Find out more about *TINA: The Tina Turner Musical* tickets at the Aldwych Theatre today.

*Tina - The Tina Turner Musical* is a feat in imaginative storytelling. From Anthony van Laast’s energetic choreography to Mark Thompson’s stunning design, this jukebox musical reimagines the power of theatre.

Even if you’re a Tina Turner superfan, you’ll learn a great deal about her life in and out of the public eye. Elements of the musical are told in the Tina Turner biopic, *What’s Love Got to do With It?*, but the autobiographical musical delves into her life. Learn how Tina focused on her strong Buddhist beliefs to cope with her suffering. 

Even though Tina Turner doesn’t star in *Tina - The Tina Turner Musical*, she worked extensively with the show’s creative team to bring her story to life. *Mamma Mia!*’s Phyllida Lloyd directed Tina’s story on stage, and Olivier-winning playwright Katori Hall pieced Tina’s life together into two and a half hours. One thing’s certain: Tina Turner + theatre = simply the best.

## What to Watch For:

- Tina Turner is listed in the Guinness Book of Records for selling more concert tickets than any solo performer in history. Tina Turner has performed 12 world tours. She’s also opened for the Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart, and Lionel Richie. 
- The Queen of Rock and Roll dominates the music industry. To date, she’s sold over 200 million albums and singles worldwide.
- Although an American citizen by birth, Tina Turner gave up her American citizenship in 2013 to become a Swiss citizen. She currently lives in Zurich.
- Adrienne Warren originated the role of Tina Turner in the West End. She later reprised the role on Broadway, winning a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical.

If you drew up a list of everything you wanted from a <a href="/actor-profile/tina-turner">Tina Turner </a>musical, you wouldn't be disappointed by <a href="/show/tina-the-musical">Tina</a>, which gets its world premiere at the <a href="/theatres/aldwych-theatre">Aldwych Theatre</a>. It's got the anthems, it's got the moves, it's got the hair. But on a deep-dive into the life of one of the world's best-selling recording artists, we witness some of the moments of genuine turmoil she's had to endure on her way to stardom.Born Anna Mae Bullock, the young Turner grew up in the small Tennessee town of Nutbush, whose Black residents were expected to stick to picking cotton and keep to themselves. Her first experience of violence is over the kitchen table as her father beats her mother. It draws gasps from the audience who may have bought tickets solely expecting a jaunty musical, but also provides a harrowing insight into the life that lies ahead.Anna Mae was discovered by Ike Turner, who put her centre stage leading his band alongside him. He made her change her name to Tina Turner, and made her his wife. Tina became embroiled in Ike's life: he would beat her for seeing men before they were married, for not performing the music in his vision. And it's pretty brutal stuff.The second half focusses much more on Turner's music: working with Beatles producer Phil Spector; finding her rock 'n' roll mojo; facing record labels who would only have one Black woman on their books. It brings Turner's current husband, record executive Erwin Bach (Gerard McCarthy), into the frame, though his involvement in the story feels shoe-horned in.<div style="text-align:center"><figure class="image" style="display:inline-block"><img alt="" height="603" src="https://images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/1SERDLCaKw4ajWsd5DDCKQ/847292bf4c976386fc2a8a88501d44d5/10_2.jpg" width="904" /><figcaption>Adrienne Warren as Tina Turner. Photos by Manuel Harlan.</figcaption></figure></div>Making her West End debut, Adrienne Warren absolutely storms it in the title role. Her impersonations of Turner are pretty spot-on, from her low-smooth tones to iconic howls - best demonstrated in a scene in the recording studio where Ike pushes the singer to go higher and higher. She's got the moves too, imitating Turner's distinctive moves and during the finale, transporting us from the Aldwych to the 180,000 capacity Maracana Stadium; from a musical to a rock concert.&nbsp;As you would expect, Tina is constantly at the centre of this story. Katori Hall's book does tackle the issues head-on, it covers racism in the Deep South, adversity in the music industry, and relationships of domestic abuse - all very current issues too. The only respite comes in the music.&nbsp;The whole show has more of a rock musical vibe than I expected. Many scenes begin on stage or at a recording session, giving us full-power renditions of "River Deep. Mountain High" and "The Best" (which is a pretty high-octane finale that drew the audience to its feet). &nbsp;But a highlight could be act two opener "Private Dancer", as Tina struggles to cope after Ike uses copyright to stop her from performing any of the songs they worked on together.Phyllida Lloyd's staging includes the extensive use of video as a backdrop which works well to transport us from rainy London ("I Can't Stand the Rain") to trippy, colourful scenes like "Higher". The choreography is some of the most giddy and energetic in the West End (the faster the better) and while Warren's spot-on as Turner, the speed means it's noticeable if one dancer is a touch out of time.<a href="/theatre-news/interviews/kobna-holdbrook-smith-interview-work-hard-tina-ike-turner-musical">Kobna Holdbrook-Smith</a>, performing in a musical for the first time, plays the villainous Ike with ferocity, though it is slightly grating that the character can hardly go one song without grabbing a guitar.It's everything you expected, executed well and packs in a few surprises. Simply the Best? If you're a Tina fan, it'll definitely be pretty close.<iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/e3GY4mTJF8E?rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0;color=white" width="560"></iframe><hr /><a href="/show/tina-the-musical">Tina - The Tina Turner Musical</a> is booking at the <a href="/theatres/aldwych-theatre">Aldwych Theatre</a> until 20th October.&nbsp;<a href="/show/tina-the-musical">Tina - The Tina Turner Musical Tickets</a> are available now.&nbsp;<hr /><h3>What the popular press said...</h3>"Born in the USA, made in England.

Review - Tina - The Tina Turner Musical at the Aldwych Theatre

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 Aldwych Theatre is a grand, atmospheric theatre venue situated in the heart of London's West End. Built in 1905 by the renowned theatre architect W. G. R. Sprague, this venerable institution has a rich history of hosting notable plays, musicals, and performances by celebrated actors from around the world. With a seating capacity of approximately 1,200 spread over three levels - Stalls, Dress Circle, and Grand Circle, the thoughtfully designed interior ensures an intimate viewing experience from all angles. The unique Edwardian Baroque architecture, the intricately decorated interior, and Hungary's specially commissioned chandelier lend it a majestic aura, transporting audiences to an era bygone. Over the years, Aldwych Theatre has staged several significant performances including 'A Streetcar Named Desire,' 'Dirty Dancing,' and 'Tina – The Tina Turner Musical.' 

## How to get to the venue
 Aldwych Theatre is conveniently located and easy to reach with public transportation. The nearest underground station is Covent Garden, a short 5 minute walk away. Alternatively, Charing Cross station is only a 10-minute walk. Numerous buses service the Strand, making it accessible from across the city. If driving, it's recommended to book in advance in a nearby car parking like the Q-Park Covent Garden, as street parking is limited. It’s important to remember that Aldwych Theatre is located within London's congestion charge zone.

## Aldwych Theatre Seating Information

The auditorium has three levels – Stalls, Dress Circle and Grand Circle.

In the Stalls there is a good rake for the seating which allows for good visibility of the stage. The overhang of the Dress Circle blocks the top of the stage from Row L onwards.

The Dress Circle is on an excellent rake too and there isn’t a safety bar at the front meaning that there is a great view from most seats. The Grand Circle overhangs from Row B and affects the view from Row E.

The Grand Circle is very high in this theatre, and it should be noted that seats in Row D onwards do not have armrests and are fixed seats.
