Who is Tina Turner?
Anna Mae Bullock was born on November 26, 1939, in a small Tennessee town. She would grow up to become the most well-known rock ‘n’ roll performer of her time, adopting the name Tina Turner. Her popularity was such that she was able to sell more concert tickets than any other solo artists.
The musical deals with the good and bad of Turner’s life and looks at both her personal and professional lives. The show intelligently incorporates the performer’s famous songs into the story, ensuring that it does not feel forced at any time.
Turner first came into the spotlight during the 1960s when she and her then-husband Ike Turner produced terrific music.
