FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Tina: The Tina Turner Musical
‘Tina Turner Musical’ review: A towering Broadway performance
8 / 10
But let's be real: You come to 'Tina' for the songs. Director Phyllida Lloyd ('Mamma Mia!') stages them smoothly, with vibrant pops of color that ripple off the shimmering fringe of Mark Thompson's costumes. And all of them - including 'I Can't Stand the Rain,' 'Private Dancer' and 'We Don't Need Another Hero' - sound glorious. During the exuberant final concert, Warren isn't just rolling on the river: She's stampeding through Broadway.
TORMENT TO TRIUMPH
8 / 10
Perhaps I was mistaken. Tina: The Tina Turner Musical has arrived after smacking London in the gob. It's not at all a lousy show, but Adrienne Warren's performance in the title role has the roaring lift of a helicopter taking flight and the dazzling sparkle of a hundred chandeliers, making Tina a musical not to miss. I came out of the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre feeling as though I'd just seen Serena Williams on center court, Simone Biles on the balance beam and Bessie Smith singing 'Downhearted Blues,' all rolled into one mesmerizing package. Yes, Warren is that good. You will remember her name.
