Inviting audiences to experience the electrifying journey of Tina Turner, the legendary “Queen of Rock ‘n Roll,” the Overture Center will host eight performances of “Tina: The Tina Turner Musical” from June 11-16.
Turner remains a towering figure in music history, having won 12 Grammy Awards and having sold 100 million records worldwide.
“The North American tour of ‘Tina: The Tina Turner Musical’ is one of eight productions that have opened around the world since the show began in the West End in 2018, which is testimony to Tina’s extraordinary legacy,” said ‘Tina: The Tina Turner Musical’ producers Tali Pelman and Jimmy Nederlander in a press release announcing the dates. “We can’t wait for America to see the two-megawatt superstars who share the role of Tina, Deon Releford-Lee in the role of Ike, and the incredibly talented company who are on the road in this tour.”
“Tina: The Tina Turner Musical” is directed by Tony Award nominee Phyllida Lloyd with choreography by Tony Award nominee Anthony van Laast. Featuring her much loved songs, the musical is written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Katori Hall.
The North American touring cast is led by Ari Groover (TINA Broadway, Head Over Heels, Holler If Ya hear Me, Little Shop of Horrors) and Zurin Villanueva (The Lion King, Mean Girls, Shuffle Along) who will evenly share the role of Tina Turner, each playing four (of eight) performances a week, according to a press release from Overture Center.
