The show features brilliant choreography by Anthony van Laast with set and costume design by Mark Thompson. Aisha Jawando stars as Tina Turner joined by Jammy Kasongo playing her partner Ike.
TINA: The Tina Turner Musical has had a large amount of involvement from Tina Turner herself, who recently proclaimed that working on the musical helped bring her out of retirement. Made with her blessing, the musical features many of her best songs. If you’re familiar with the book written by Katori Hall or a fan of Tina Turner’s music in general, this show is tailor-made for you.
The musical is a deep dive into the triumphant and troubling life of Tina Turner, right from her humble beginnings in Nutbush, Tennessee, to her tumultuous relationship with Ike Turner and her iconic comeback in her 40s. The musical follows Tina’s journey to becoming a superstar coupled with her experience with marital abuse and eventual divorce from her long-time partner and husband Ike Turner. The musical beautifully showcases her knack for overcoming obstacles, a talent that came in handy to help her become a solo rock 'n’ roll star.

Built in 1905, Aldwych Theatre was constructed as a pair of the Novello Theatre by designer W. G. R. Sprague. Despite being constructed together and designed by the same architect, the two theatres were funded and managed by different entities. The theatre has hosted numerous musical comedies in its early years, including the production Blue Bell, which starred Mr. Hicks.
Featuring an Edwardian Baroque style, the Aldwych Theatre is a visual delight. The theatre became renowned for the quality of the shows produced, particularly the series of comedies that played at the theatre starting in 1925.

Tina is a 3 hour show if you include the interval but the show finished before we new it. A brillant cast especially the lead actress playing Tina. We went on line in Australia picked excellent seats for the day we wanted and rocked up to see the show at the Altwich an intimate theatre experience able to see every expression on the casts faces.
My wife and I live in Orlando, Florida and were in London prior to taking a cruise. While here, we decided to catch a show. The theater was small and quaint, the guest that set near us very personable, and most importantly the Tina Turner show unbelievable. The 3 hours flew by and the cast members were phenomenal. We've seen shows all over the US, one show in London 2 years ago, and this is at the top of the list. I highly recommend if you are in London to catchvthis show. Truly unbelievable.
Was one of my life's best experiences. First time to attend a theatre and I am.hooked. actors and lady who played Tina were absolutely awesome. Highly recommend
