Tina Turner Musical Broadway Reviews | What The Critics Think

“Hitherto unknown in the U.K., the Adrienne Warren was the Tony-nominated standout in Broadway’s “Shuffle Along,” but her knockdown performance here not only elevates an otherwise routine bio-musical into a triumph, it’s a slam-dunk for every upcoming awards ceremony. Putting director Phyllida Lloyd in charge of turning Tina’s life story into a theatrical evening was a smart move.”
- Variety on the West End Production in 2018

“This terrific show is billed as the “untold” story of Tina Turner. Given that there has already been a bestselling memoir called I, Tina, a popular biopic starring Angela Bassett and even a jukebox musical, Soul Sister, the claim looks a little exaggerated. But this version, which comes with its subject’s blessing, offers a heady celebration of triumph over adversity and boasts a whirlwind performance by Adrienne Warren that left the audience, though not the star herself, breathless."
- The Guardian on the West End Production in 2018

“Executive produced by the 78-year-old soul-pop siren and her German husband Erwin Bach, Tina sheds little new light on a familiar triumph-over-adversity story already laid out in Turner’s best-selling 1986 autobiography I, Tina and Brian Gibson’s 1993 film What’s Love Got to Do With It. Even so, Phyllida Lloyd’s production is a rollicking rollercoaster ride, delivered with stylistic verve and fireball energy by a high-caliber cast and crew."
- Hollywood Reporter on the West End Production in 2018
