I loved the movie, What’s Love Got to Do With It and have loved Tina Turner’s music all through the years. This show is spectacular and has you on the edge of your seat. I would highly recommend the show and willing probably see it again. I really enjoyed the two song encore that allowed the audience to stand up and dance and/or take pictures. Rock On!

Ah-mazing

I absolutely loved this musical. I applaud the way her extremely diverse musical catalogue was interwoven into the musical in a manner that made sense. I was wiggling in my seat the whole time and couldn’t understand why everyone else could sit so still so I was grateful for the encore. I immediately wanted to see it again as soon as it was over. I highly recommend it.

Absolutely LOVED IT!!!

Seeing Tina: The Tina Turner Musical on Easter Sunday at the beautiful, brand-new Tanger Center in Greensboro, NC was something of a religious experience for die-hard Tina Turner fans. It wasn’t so much that Ari Groover looked or sounded like The Queen of Rock and Roll. It was more that she possessed the energy of her spirit. Through the 155-minute musical that probes into the life of Tina Turner more than any project for stage or screen has ever dared, Tina provides one last glimpse into the life and music left behind by the late superstar. Ari Groover is even better in this live performance than in televised ones by Tony winner Adrienne Warren. Groover possesses the rough edge to her voice needed to portray someone like Tina Turner, which is very atypical of Broadway singers. More importantly, her unprecedented dance moves were spot on. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of her performance was her impeccable rendering of those iconic Tina Turner choreography, from the Ike and Tina days to her superstar solo era. Tony nominee Anthony Van Laast was, in my humble opinion, cheated out of his award for the flawless job he did as choreographer. Another element of the show that held true to form through more than a half-century of reflection is the incredible costuming of Mark Thompson, who also designed the amazing sets. From the gold dress that fans out during the classic “Proud Mary” shimmy to the denim jacket and fishnet stockings of “What’s Love Got To Do With It,” Thompson accurately reminds everyone that Tina Turner was as much of an icon in fashion as she was in music. Her backing band was the perfect complement to the re-creation of a Tina Turner show, its centerpiece being the slick horn section featuring saxophonist Chris Greene. They shone in style and performance from ‘50s numbers like “Shake a Tailfeather” to ‘80s anthems like “Simply the Best.” I was also glad to see that the story was not wholly centered on her abusive life with Ike, which concludes at the close of the first act. Eons better than the 1993 biopic, What’s Love Got To Do With It, the second act of Tina focuses on her self-motivated meteoric rise to legendary status despite receiving no support from the music industry or even her own family. It is also refreshing to see her true love story with German EMI executive Erwin Bach (John Battagliese), which whom she happily spent the last 37 years of her life. Standout performances included the adorable Symphony King as Young Anna Mae, who possessed every bit the level of fire and ice within in her gigantic voice as young Anna Mae Bulluck undoubtedly was blessed. She was invited back onstage during the finale to help with “Proud Mary,” which delighted the sold-out crowd of some 3,000 energized fans who sang, clapped and moved along with each beat. We were treated to “Simply the Best” and “Nutbush City Limits” after the curtain call, too, which is the closest anyone alive today will get to a Tina Turner concert. Gerard M. Williams was also quite good as Raymond Hill, Ike Turner’s saxophonist who fathered Tina’s first son Craig. He sang “Let’s Stay Together” in a very smooth Al Green style. As for the two main villains in Tina Turner’s life, Ike (Deon Releford-Lee) and her mother Zelma (Roz White), they were both portrayed with the correct amount of selfishness, venom and persuasiveness, although the latter was much more humanized in the play than in real life. Tina Turner was never loved or wanted by her mother and certainly never validated by her. The play did correctly portrayed Zelma’s relationship with Ike, which added insult to her daughter’s lifelong injury. The decades of abuse Tina suffered at Ike’s hands is chronicled well enough, which makes the show difficult to watch at times, but no where near as brutally distracting as the film version. Tina Turner’s heroic conversion to Buddhism serves as an anchor to the entire show. The room key Tina collects from an invisible hotel manager after her escape across a Dallas freeway in July 1976 brought tears as she launches into “I Don’t Wanna Fight” proclaiming her freedom. The show is also bookended by the introduction of “Simply the Best” blended with the sounds of her Lotus Sutra Buddhist chant, the Native American chants of her beloved grandmother Georgeanna, and the preaching of her Baptist beginnings. All three culminate the whole of her life journey and she hears them in her head just before she heads onstage to start her record-breaking concert in Rio de Janeiro in 1988, to which she performed to a crowd of 186,000. That was only the beginning for the 48-year-old who would continue to shatter concert attendance records for two more decades. Her story was beautifully summarized by Katori Hall, with some true stories unfolded out of sequence due to time constraints.

Awesome Concert

I absolutely loved this show! I learned things about Tina (and that lousy Ike Turner) that I did not know. She was such a strong woman with an incredible voice (and legs). The world lost an Icon! If you're thinking about tickets, BUY THEM!!
