TINA – THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL Victoria Premiere Begins In January
Musical that celebrates the life and legacy of iconic musical artist Tina Turner has been seen more than eight million theatregoers worldwide
Broadway in Victoria will present the Victoria premiere of the award-winning Broadway musical TINA – The Tina Turner Musical, on stage from January 6-11, 2026, at Victoria's Royal Theatre (805 Broughton St).
The Tina Turner Musical is the inspiring true story of a woman who defied racism, sexism, and ageism to become the global Queen of Rock ‘n Roll. This smash-hit stage production celebrates Tina Turner's incredible talent and triumphant rise from a small-town girl with a big voice to an international icon, and features some of her biggest hits, including “What's Love Got to Do with It,” “Proud Mary,” “The Best,” and “River Deep – Mountain High.”
TINA – The Tina Turner Musical first opened at the Aldwych Theatre on London's West End in 2018, and only just closed on September 13, 2025 – one of the venue's longest running shows. In North America, the Broadway production ran from 2019 to 2022 and was nominated for 12 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The musical has since toured across North America and Europe, and had a sell-out season at Theatre Royal Sydney in Australia.
The Victoria production will feature Darilyn Burtley as Tina Turner, joined by Monty Kane (Ike Turner/Ronnie Turner), K. Bernice (Zelma Bullock), Eva Ruwé (Gran Georgeanna), and Eleni Kutay (Rhonda Graam/Toni Basil).
