The story of Tina Turner is headed to Broadway this Fall. Tina – The Tina Turner Musical will hit New York City and will star Adrienne Warren who will continue her role as the iconic singer.
Deadline reports details for the Broadway musical are forthcoming, however, the show has received the green light and support of Turner.
“I’m so proud of everything that Adrienne has achieved over the last year in the West End,” Turner said. “She has given it everything she’s got, she has poured her soul into it, and she deserves every success. I am thrilled she will be reprising her role in New York, and I cannot wait to see her on that Broadway stage on Opening Night.”
If this will be your first introduction to Adrienne Warren, she will be sure to dazzle you with her performance. She is a Tony-nominated performer who has been featured in Shuffle Along and Bring It On: The Musical, which also were on Broadway.
“Working on this show has been a life-changing experience for me. Tina’s unshakable courage, grace and determination have been our constant inspiration, and I am honored to have had the opportunity to be part of this telling of her story,” Warren shared.
To give a teaser of what to expect you can now view listen to the single “River Deep Mountain High,” performed by Warren, which will be on the forthcoming album for the musical.
