A story of survival and triumph amidst sparkly costumes, high-energy choreography, and songs that have now become classics is what you will get with TINA, The Tina Turner Musical. From humble beginnings in Brownsville, Tennessee, through the Ike & Tina Turner Revue and an astounding comeback solo career, Ms. Turner has been known and revered for her energetic stage presence, powerful vocals, and career longevity. It is challenging to pay tribute to an individual who has won 12 Grammy awards, been inducting into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and received a Kennedy Center Award, but this production gives it an admirable try. Adrienne Warren and the cast light up the stage, and everyone leaves TINA is an elevated state, perhaps due to the indomitable spirit of the musical’s subject.
