Tina
The Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll is coming to the West End! Tina Turner is producing a musical, aptly named TINA, about her life – the multi-Grammy Award-winning singer, whose career spans seven decades, will open the show at the Aldwych Theatre in March 2018. This promises to be a real highlight in the 2018 calendar, so book those tickets now!
Turner’s extensive songbook includes such classics as ‘River Deep, Mountain High’, ‘Simply The Best’ and ‘Proud Mary’, which across her career won her 11 Grammy awards, sold over 180 million records and inducted her into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with more concert tickets sold than any other solo performer in history.
TINA will tell of the singer’s life, from growing up in Nutbush, Tennessee, through her turbulent partnership with Ike Turner, to defying the bounds of age, gender and race as a successful recording artist with multi-platinum albums and a James Bond theme song to her name. The production will be directed by Phyllida Lloyd, whose last West End production was the still-running global success, Mamma Mia!. Lloyd brings back a number of her collaborators, including choreographer Anthony van Laast, designer Mark Thompson and musical supervisor Nicholas Skilbeck, to lend their magical touch to TINA.
Tickets for TINA are currently on sale from 21 March – 16 June 2018. Book now and enjoy a rock ‘n’ roll highlight of 2018.

Tina triumphs Great story-telling, poignant, tough moments captured delicately and elegantly without pulling punches. Enchanting youngsters and a knockout Tina who triumphs over adversity. A must-see show and I can’t wait to bring the family next time. Brava!

Fabulous Full of energy. Dancing and singing are superb, especially Tina. Sound is great if a bit loud at times. This is a must see show. Audience stood and clapped at the end, very spontaneous and moving. Great experience for me.

Amazing can’t be missed This show was really amazing .We enjoyed it from the b to the end .The finale was fantastic .All the actors were great.But the leading lady stole the show .Its a show not to be missed .
Carol, 17 Oct 2024
Fantastic show, would go and see it again! The whole show was brilliant and exciting from start to finish, one of the best I’ve seen if not the best!
Jason, 16 Oct 2024
Excellent music and story The acting was excellent, especially young Annie Mae. The vocal range from both young Tina and Tina were so impressive. The story itself has some audience gasping moments (especially the use of the N word), so if easily offended it's probably best avoided. However, you can't rewrite history and growing up around the South of the US,it will have happened and adds to the the life of Tina.
The choice of songs were great and it's difficult to sit still when you desperately want to sing along. I learnt some new things about her past and all in all, enjoyed very much.
Amanda, 15 Oct 2024
Fantastic experience! You just gave to go...its like Tina is performing live.
Sean, 12 Oct 2024

Simply the best We were a group of three, and we all loved the show, really amazing, all actors singers and dancers were fantastic and Tina, no words, she was simply the best!!

Axel, 18 Sep 2024
Must See Tina Absolutely Phenomenal
Alice, 18 Sep 2024
Just brilliant! It’s difficult to describe how good this show is. It really is a “must” for any Tina Turner or musical fan. Overall, it was just brilliant! Perhaps one would say simply the best?!
Aaron, 18 Sep 2024
Amazing singing and performance I enjoyed all the singers especially the leading stars, the junior singers were very good too. The dancers were energetic and their movements were coherent. The 2 sons didn’t play a big part and no mention of her dad and mother later in her life.
Jin, 17 Sep 2024
Absolutely amazing. We loved everything about it. We may go again while we are in London.
Patricia, 14 Sep 2024
Superb I thought I was in a Tina Turner concert. Absolutely amazing 👏
Samantha, 14 Sep 2024
A must see! Tina, The musical is a must see, especially for fans of the late superstar! It's a no holds barred adaptation of her life with music and song. Acting was first class. Young Tina was brilliant! Would go again!
Patricia, 13 Sep 2024
A must see It was an amazing story told on stage. The end was so emotional. Would watch again.

Harriet, 10 Sep 2024
Loved it Incredible vocals, wonderful Tina classics. A sad life story turned into a wonderful musical celebrating her bravery, power and inspiration.
Joanna, 08 Sep 2024
Must see Amazing show loved the fact her songs were woven in to her story music fantastic
Paula, 08 Sep 2024
Dissapointing We saw the same show in 2019 and it was absolutely excellent. Sad to say the current production had changed significantly from the show we had send preciously and the vocals of the Ike and Tina leads just not strong enough singers. All in all the show was a poor
Imitation of the show we watched in 2019 and i would not rush to watch it again
Andrew, 06 Sep 2024
Amazingly entertaining A must see musical
Margaret, 06 Sep 2024
Big Wheel Keep On Turning I hope this show goes on and on like a big wheel.
Absolutely fantastic from start to finish.
Thank you so much for an amazing performance by all the cast and crew.
I’ll definitely be back to see it again!
Andrew, 05 Sep 2024
Powerful, Amazing and very memorable The acting and the singing were fantastic! I was blown away. The main character was sublime, one of the best performances I have seen in the west end. The energy and power, the finesse and detail are an absolute privilege to experience.
The screenplay is very well thought out, and so impactful! I’m super happy I went to wee this Tina.
Urs, 04 Sep 2024
You won't be disappointed First half was a bit "heavy" but necessary to tell the whole story but the second half after interval is spectacularly brilliant
Mike, 01 Sep 2024
Strong stiry line inc the darker side of her life The show was great, all ghe well know songs. It is quite dark in ghe first half at times, depicting the abuse from Ike. Maybe not for youngsters of those with domestic abuse issuse.
Angela, 29 Aug 2024
Great night out and experience Purchased tickets as a surprise for my partner. The show
was exhilarating and we both left the theatre on a high.
It could have been me but some of the dialogue was difficult
to hear especially when spoken softly.
Robert, 26 Aug 2024
Brilliant Probably not for very young children, but definitely for lovers of theatre and musicals.
John, 24 Aug 2024
Absolutely brilliant Probably the best musical I've seen for energy, emotion & outstanding performance.
Peter, 23 Aug 2024
Absolutely fantastic great show. Zoe Birkett was fantastic such a star played a great Tina Turner Well done. Highly recommended.
christine, 22 Aug 2024
"V&U"!! Vibrant & Uplifting We loved the show. The story is beautifully acted by the singers and dancers. The songs are either telling us the story of Tina Turner's life or the acting/miming is. It's very cleverly done and it brings lots of very strong émotions. At times, the show brought me tears to my eyes or goose pimples! The end is uplifting and we all started to move to the music all standing up, cherring and singing! The actress singer playing the role of Tina has such energy and style she is positively amazing! She is beautiful and smart and she did a really wonderful job at being Tina Turner on stage.I would happily see it again. One can order their drinks in advance for interval, I recommend it. It started around 7and finished at 10pm. Thank you for this amazing experience👏🙏
Marie Helene, 22 Aug 2024

Superb Great theatre - seating excellent for viewing - entertaining & singing class. Not a problem to hear clearly what the actors were saying
Judith, 01 Aug 2024
Amazing, Fantastic Acting, Emotional. I don't think I have ever gone through so many emotions in a short period of time, Listening to the early Anna-Mae a joy, what a wonderful voice, upset watching the nasty side of Ike, and then Happy watching Tina Turner shine without Ike. I will keep coming back.
Fabulous.
Steve, 01 Aug 2024
Superb It was crazy good exciting stuff and very authentic shocking and true
Paul, 31 Jul 2024
Very good show I have given it 5 stars but if their had been an option for sound I would have given 4 stars. Sometimes it was hard to make out what the actors were saying. The volume on their mics could have been a little louder.
CAROLINE, 30 Jul 2024
Wonderful from start to finish Fantastic talent throughout the whole cast but the quality of the singing was superb
