Any know about the buzz on this? I know it's starting on the West End, but that site doesn't seem to get as much traffic. Plus, if this is good, I'm hoping for a transfer to B'way. I love me some Tina!
Hope this turns out better than latest spat of jukebox musicals. I was excited initially, but Tina deserves a thoughtful musical representation of her life. I hope this turns out to be exactly that.
I just got back from a London trip. I saw this. The good news it is definitely better than many jukebox musicals, though it could still be improved. Yet again we have to start with a young version of Tina which to me is completely unnecessary. (And just like Donna, yes she sang in church!) The projections are also awful.
The real reason that this works better is Adrienne Warren who is absolutely incredible in this.I think Tony worthy. She is giving a truly fantastic performance. I think that this show really understands what we want: to hear Tina's music. There is a fantastic concert section at the end of the show that feels more full than most of the megamixes we usually get. Also, unlike Donna, most songs are performed fully so I didn't feel like we were getting 60 seconds here and there etc.
