The producers of Tina — The Tina Turner Musical have announced that the West End musical's Broadway transfer will begin performances at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on October 12 ahead of a November 7 opening. Tickets will go on sale to the general public beginning June 7.
As previously announced, Tony and Olivier Award nominee Adrienne Warren, who currently stars as Tina Turner in London's West End through April 13, will reprise her performance for the Broadway mounting. Further casting will be announced soon.
A new musical based on the life of legendary artist Tina Turner, Tina — The Tina Turner Musical received its world premiere in April 2018 at the Aldwych Theatre in London. A German production opened last month at Stage Operettenhaus in Hamburg.
Directed by Phyllida Lloyd and written by Katori Hall with Frank Ketelaar and Kees Prins, the musical features choreography by Anthony van Laast, with set and costume designs by Mark Thompson, musical supervision, additional music, and arrangements by Nicholas Skilbeck, lighting by Bruno Poet, sound by Nevin Steinberg, projection design by Jeff Sugg, and orchestrations by Ethan Popp.
