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.

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.
