Tina Turner Musical celebrates 6 Years in London’s West End

The London production of Tina – The Tina Turner Musical celebrated six years in the West End last night.

Erwin Bach, husband of the late Tina Turner attended the performance and joined the cast onstage for post-show photos.

Tina – The Tina Turner Musical opened at the Aldwych Theatre on 17 April 2018 with American actress Adrienne Warren originating the role of Tina.

Turner, who was heavily involved in the production, attended the UK premiere with Bach. The musical is dedicated to the memory of Tina Turner, who sadly passed away in May 2023. She would have turned 85 on 26 November this year.

The London production, currently booking to 31 May 2025, is headlined by Karis Anderson and Elesha Paul Moses, sharing the role of Tina, alongside Okezie Morro as Ike Turner and Jonathan Carlton as Erwin Bach.

Since 2018 the show has been seen staged internationally including on Broadway, and in North America, Australia, Germany, The Netherlands and Spain. It was recently announced a new production would tour the UK from next year, opening at Curve Leicester on 6 March 2025.

Tina – The Tina Turner Musical is directed by Phyllida Lloyd (Mamma Mia!) and written by Pulitzer Prize-winner Katori Hall, with Frank Ketelaar and Kees Prins. This against-all-odds bio-musical about the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll is set to all of her greatest hit songs.
