Get the electrifying concert experience of Tina Turner with this glorious, energetic stage production, brimming with Tina hits from the '60s, '70s, '80s, and '90s. The powerful raspy vocals, high-intensity dancing and thrilling stage presence live on stage, complete with band, brass section, backing vocalists and dancers to make this the definitive tribute, and a fabulous fun night out.

Hear all the energetic Rock and soulful R'n'B hits that made Tina one of the 20th century's biggest names in music - "Simply the Best", "What's Love Got to Do With It", "River Deep Mountain High", "Proud Mary", "Nutbush City Limits", "We Don't Need Another Hero", "What You Get is What You See", "Private Dancer" and many more

For Caroline Borole, music has been a major influence in her life. The South African-born songstress credits her family, who saturated her childhood with a multitude of musical genres and artists, with shaping her personal musical style. When the company began casting for the Tina Turner tribute in 2017, Caroline was hard to overlook for the leading role, with a natural rasp and extraordinary power to her voice, and an athleticism on stage that Director Johnny Van Grinsven simply couldn't find elsewhere. This resulted in a highly acclaimed and sought-after show.

This show is a tribute and is not associated with Tina Turner.
