this disappoints me that tina turner has allowed it to happen.

still if they make it as good as end of the rainbow it'll be fine, i just hope it isn't some jukebox **it again!

UK tour now being planned.
The Hackney season has been doing great business. Don't be surprised if this arrives in town the end of this year or 2013.

They should just put What's Love Got to Do With It onstage, that film is epic and dark and horrific but triumphant, i imagine this show will be........... Shiny

When I posted this originally I did wonder what involvement she had in the putting together of this.
The movie is simply amazing, will have to revisit it one night soon.
