TINA - THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL 

at The National Theatre 

           

In the 1970s, I  had spent weeks climbing around ruins in Peru.  I heard music of the Andes all over.  I  was  finally at  Machu Picchu to spend the night so I could get up early  and climb to see the sunrise from the top of the ruins.   As I got to steps by the gatekeepe,  I could hear his boom box blaring across the Andes “I Wanna Take You Higher”  by Tina Turner.  

You don’t have to go climbing the Andes to hear her songs —Tina-The Tina Turner Musical  isright here  at the National Theatre, Washington DC,  until  Oct. 23, 2022.   

The show has broken all records with the awards it has received since in premiered in April 2018 in London.  No one questions that Tina is a musical legend but  for this show  accolades to  the stars Naomi Rodgers and Zurin Villanueva who alternate in the  spectacular role.  

At every performance there will be people  who remember seeing Tina “back when” and for which this is a very special event to  see  TINA, a  show which celebrates  what becomes a legend -  in her own songs.
