Tina – The Tina Turner Musical tells the story of the titular musical icon, who rewrote the rules of stardom during her journey from humble Nutbush to global legend. A new show presented in association with Tina Turner herself, it follows the woman who dared to defy the bounds of her age, gender and race. Broadway star Adrienne Warren was revealed in October to be playing the titular role, with Kobna Holdbrook-Smith as Ike Turner.
The world premiere of the new musical will take place at the Aldwych Theatre in April 2018, with previews from 21 March 2018.
