Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:05:31 GMT

The world lost one of its greatest voices and live performers in May, when the one and only Tina Turner passed away at the age of 83 at her home in Switzerland.  Before she left us, the queen of gritty soul renditions and electric stage shows gave fans a gift in the form of TINA- The Tina Turner Musical, the stage production based on her life story.In the midst of its sixth production and tour since opening in the West End in 2018, the show, currently at the Pantages, is a must-see for fans of the singer and those who love deeply felt, fiercely performed music in general. Surviving an abusive husband and ageist record execs is a big part of her story, but beyond the drama as seen in What’s Love Got To Do With it and her recent HBO bio-doc, the musical takes a personal approach, showing how the icon garnered strength from supportive friends, her children and the music itself, even as she fought to shine outside of ex Ike Turner’s shadow and find new love again.The music is the main r...
