What to Expect from Tina: The Musical
While details about the cast and performance dates for the New York City production are yet to be announced, fans can expect a jukebox musical filled with the hits that made Tina Turner a global sensation. Think of it as a vibrant celebration of her music, reminiscent of other successful shows like Jersey Boys, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, and Summer: The Donna Summer Musical.

Tina's Journey: From Struggles to Triumph
The musical will delve into some of the most pivotal moments in Tina's life, including her tumultuous marriage to Ike Turner. According to Robbie Montgomery, one of Tina's former backup singers who described their relationship as "close as sisters," Ike Turner often controlled the dynamics of their performances and personal lives. It wasn't until Tina filed for divorce in 1976 that she began to reclaim her independence and build the life she'd always dreamed of. A source close to Tina revealed to Closer, "After all the chaos, she's created a life filled with peace and joy."
