TINA - The Tina Turner Musical, written by Tony Award nominee and Pulitzer Prize winner Katori Hall with Frank Ketelaar and Kees Prins, and directed by Phyllida Lloyd, is set to resume performances at Broadway's Lunt-Fontanne Theatre beginning October 8, 2021.
The musical, based on the life of Tina Turner, is described as "a celebration of resilience and an inspiration of triumph over adversity."
