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.

Adam, 15 Jun 2025
What a show!!! I am a rather frequent musical goer and this was certainly one of the best I have seen. The full package was just great, the artists, music, staging, just great. Also like the fact that it was in a somewhat smaller theatre, which made even more special.
Christian, 10 Jun 2025
Simply the best Loud, colourful and uplifting. Wonderful

Marge, 06 Jun 2025
Tina Turner to a 'T' Amazing performance all round. The actress playing the part of Tina was exceptional.
A show not to be missed.
I wouldn't recommend it for families due to the bad language.

Lorraine, 06 May 2025
Very Good but.... What is it with theatre seats? So uncomfortable. Have to keep shuffling in your seat which takes away from the show
Neil, 03 May 2025
Excellent! Must see show, great performance, music, everything…
Antonija, 01 May 2025
The best show I have seen! Absolutely incredible! WOW, I saw the show last night and it is just amazing! All the actors were brilliant, but the lead Tina was just mind-blowing! Her voice just blew the roof off. I was on an emotional rollercoaster throughout following the story, ending on a massive high! The whole theatre evidently loved the show as much as I did with everyone one their feet at the end. I almost had jaw ache from the enormous smiling!
If you get the opportunity to see the Tina show - grab it! This is 'Simply the Best'show out there! If I could go back again today I would be there in a flash!

Steven, 24 Apr 2025
Great evening Took my daughter to see this I've seen it before and loved it she loved it to
Amanda, 22 Apr 2025
A bit screamy I thought the strong American accent/ mumbling between Tina and Ike was over done.
The strong accent was even evident whilst singing also.
Francis, 20 Apr 2025
Uplifting night! Excellent show, great choreography and the the lead singer an absolute delight - Tina Turner's double!
Gemma, 18 Apr 2025
Today was my birthday and I have to say the girl that played Tina Turner was the best I have ever seen in any show, her voice, her acting skills, her dancing, I truly felt like I was watching Tina herself. Go and see this show I would recommend 100% that I loved everything about it. I felt like I was watching Tina the actress was soooooooooo fantastic.
Angela, 17 Apr 2025
Fantastic Absolutely loved the show! Cosy, little theatre which appeared to have been beautifully refurbished so atmosphere and surroundings were great. The Tina Turner storyline was spot on. The acting and singing was absolutely fantastic. These people who provide us with great entertainment are so talented and the reason why I love going to the theatre so much! I would definitely go to see Tina Turner again!
Beverley, 17 Apr 2025
Cracking show in a lovely theatre In the cheap seats but a great view because of the design, wonderful story & great songs with a rocking finale!
Daniel, 15 Apr 2025
We sat too high up to see the show close-up. Choose seat nearer the stage - not too high up in dress circles.
Mahmood, 15 Apr 2025
As good as a Tina Turner Concert ! fantastic, scintillating, electrifying, heartbreaking, joyful, true to the music and the history of the most amazing female musical artist of the 20th and 21st century. I saw Tina Turner on stage in 1982 and again in 1999 and I enjoyed Tina, The Musical every bit as much. Do yourself a huge favour and get a ticket. This show should run forever!! Even if you’re not a fan of musicals, you MUST see this one! I will see it again.
Bruce, 15 Apr 2025

Hilde, 05 Apr 2025

Ab Fab Tina was A-Maz-Ing! What a voice. Energy, and talent. Andthe encore-end was icing on the cake.
Valerie, 03 Apr 2025
Absolutely stunning The show is a brilliant story of Tina Turners life with warts and all. It does contain some upsetting scenes that may not be suitable for all. But the music, singing, and dancing is exceptional and highly energetic. A very enjoyable experience.
David, 02 Apr 2025
Finale!! Enjoyed the show - although there are some lengths in the acting. Could use more of Tina's blockbuster songs. But the finale does the trick!
Alexander, 02 Apr 2025
Fantastic singing Great show,great story telling and fantastic singing.
Martin, 28 Mar 2025
Phenomenal The musical demonstrates the struggles of women in an informative way with music while managing to keep the audience engaged.
I did not know the history of Tina life and now do.
Catherine, 27 Mar 2025
The real deal When we booked this we were looking forward to it as we love Tina Turners music. The show was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. The cast and theatre were incredible but Tina herself was out of this world. Cannot recommend the show enough. A rollercoaster of emotions and a flawless performance.
Patrick, 26 Mar 2025
Lovely songs Amazing voice
Juan, 25 Mar 2025
Fabulous show Fabulous show. Told the true story of Tina’s life. Brutal at times but very well acted and sung.
Alison, 25 Mar 2025
Happy tears Fantastic show. Fantastic music. But couldn't hear the speaking very well. Really strained to hear Ike. Very good view in the dress circle.
Joanne, 20 Mar 2025
Better Than All The Rest!! Zoe Birkett was phenomenal as the lead — voice and acting were as close to the real Tina Turner as I’ve ever seen. The score, story, acting, and talent are top notch. Highly highly recommend!
Timothy, 20 Mar 2025
Sad - wonderful displayed The show is excellent especially but not just for Tina Turner fans.
Cast portrayed their characters with energy, enthusiasm & talent
Although not a major criticism, I got it very difficult to understand "Tina's" accent. Maybe a little too strong..
Bernard, 19 Mar 2025
A definite Gem of a show Thoroughly enjoyed TINA. It was an emotional journey, bringing back memories triggered by the evocative music of Tina Turner. What I expected from this show was surpassed many times over. A MUST SEE.
Graham, 18 Mar 2025

Mervyn, 16 Mar 2025

Tom, 09 Mar 2025
Lead was fantastic Story line was very good and easy to follow if you didn’t know her life story. Powerful lead performer who had Tina Turner off to a tee and also had a great voice.
Richard, 05 Mar 2025
Simply the BEST 🫡 I lived in Cyprus travelled to London for 4 days for my wifes birthday, my daughter booked us the tickets.
The show and story line from start to end was simply outstanding.
The attention to detail of Tina's story and life given by all the cast was superb 🫡
John, 04 Mar 2025
Excellent What a fantastic musical telling the story of Tina Turner
and excellent performance by the whole cast.
We would definitely recommend to others.
Rob, 02 Mar 2025
Tina Turner Fantastic from start to finish. Excellent. Will definitely go again
Stuart, 28 Feb 2025
A pleasant show, with a super ending Had a lovely evening out in London last Saturday. The first half of the show was a little slow, but it picked up the pace in the second half. The acting was very good, particularly from the girl who plays Tina as a child. A true star in the making 🤩
My only criticism was the actress who played Tina. Her acting was superb but when she sang the vocals to the songs who required more zest, she appears to be slightly shouting, which spoilt it a little.
Overall, it was a good show. I loved the way it ended. As if you were at the concert itself.
Jane, 28 Feb 2025
Best show I have ever seen Phonomenal performance! Best show I have ever seen!
Christina, 27 Feb 2025

Ronald, 23 Feb 2025
A must see show Loved Tina Turner songs never really look into her life history, but now realised what hard up bringing she had and what she went through to get where she did, fantastic story about her life
Mark, 22 Feb 2025
Uplifting! Tina was excellent! Not a show for young children, but most people know the songs! A great lead singer! Where does she get the energy? Will have you bopping in the aisles!!
Jessie, 17 Feb 2025
Amazing experience Would definitely recommend!
charlotte, 17 Feb 2025
Sensational show, uncomfortable seat The musical was absolutely phenomenal, we loved every single aspect from the show. Just a word of friendly advice, do not pick seats in row G of the Grand Circle, they’re extremely narrow and the seats won’t fold so you need to move out constantly to let people get in and out
Carlos, 16 Feb 2025
Must see Amazing show and performance

Gary, 04 Feb 2025
Amazing, heartbreaking, fantastic Doors opened 18.40 waited until after 19.30 to be seated waited ages for an apology for late start. Show started after 8pm 10mins in stopped technical issue but once fixed the show didn't disappoint. Seats are very snug but they are over 100yrs and public were smaller then lol. Wonderful story fantastic acting (beware of foul language) beautiful singing and basically jawdropping. Highly recommend.
Julie Lorraine, 01 Feb 2025
Brilliant. Must see. Brilliant show. True to the life ofTina..simply the best
Robina, 28 Jan 2025
If you have not seen it, you have so missed out!! This is ,by far, the greatest musical in London.
It has everything that a show should have, do not miss this.!
REG, 27 Jan 2025
Disappointing Tina! I hade been told by numerous friends to “Go and see Tina”
Finally, I did and I will not be passing on the ‘Must see’ category to anyone.
The cast worked hard, and the story ambled along, but ‘Tina’ shouted, rather than sang.
The whole show lacked ‘sparkle’ and the half empty stalls said it all.
Not a great show.
Kevin, 26 Jan 2025
Amazing Show A great show with amazing singing and acting.
Abimbola, 25 Jan 2025
A must see I have seen this show four times since it opened in 2018 at the Aldwich. It has never disappointed. Tonight's show was brilliant.
