FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Tina: The Tina Turner Musical
Tina Turner musical ‘springs to life’ mostly during in-show performances
6 / 10
Directed by Phyllida Lloyd, who more or less launched the jukebox musical phenomenon with 'Mamma Mia!', the production is related muted, with emphasis placed on the character drama. The ensemble does little besides adding back-up singing and functions like window dressing. The full expanse of the stage is also concealed until the very end.
Theater Review: Electric Jolts From a Jukebox in Tina: The Tina Turner Musical
9 / 10
The impersonation itself isn't perfect. After a run of scenes speaking in Turner's distinctive voice, Warren sometimes sounds like she's lapsing into 'cartoon old lady' instead of Turner's sandy rasp. But who cares? It's never a barrier, and it's all forgotten the moment she sings. Director Phyllida Lloyd has built long, multiscene sequences in Tina that crash like waves, massive song after mammoth hit after monster performance. Warren doesn't bear up under them-she rises up and smashes down too. She's gigantic. She's tidal.
