TINA: The Tina Turner Musical Tickets

It’s East meets West End as ‘Sax’ singer Fleur East takes on the iconic role of Tina Turner in the acclaimed West End production, Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, at London's Aldwych Theatre. The TV star, who made the announcement on The One Show earlier this evening, will begin performances this summer. 

Fleur has the X Factor

Fleur East first gained national attention back in 2005 as a contestant on The X Factor with the girl group Addictiv Ladies. She returned to the show 9 years later as a solo artist, where she became the first, and only, contestant to achieve an iTunes number one single whilst still competing on the show! She finished runner-up and went on to release two albums and had a certified platinum single.

Beyond her music career, she’s become a familiar face on TV -  shimmying her way to the Strictly Come Dancing final in 2022 (so the Proud Mary dance should be a doddle) and facing her phobias on I’m a Celeb. Proving that, just like Tina herself, she is fierce and fearless. 

New production photos have been released for Tina – The Tina Turner Musical, and they’re simply the best (sorry!)

Directed by Phyllida Lloyd and written by Pulitzer Prize-winner Katori Hall with Frank Ketelaar and Kees Prins, Tina – The Tina Turner Musical is led by Karis Anderson and Zoe Birkett, who share the role of Tina Turner.

Anderson and Birkett are joined by Rolan Bell as Ike Turner, Mark Anderson as Phil Spector/Terry Britten, Jonathan Carlton as Erwin Bach, Grace Wylde as Alline Bullock, Irene Myrtle Forrester as Tina’s Grandmother, Daniel Haswell as Richard Bullock, Harry Harrington as Roger Davies, Emma Hatton as Rhonda Graam, Maddison Tyson as Raymond Hill, Carole Stennett as Zelma and Charlotte St.Croix as Standby Tina Turner.

Opening alongside the Novello Theatre in 1905, the Aldwych Theatre is a Grade II listed Edwardian building located in the heart of central London. The theatre has been home to countless premieres in its 120 year history, most notably Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire. Directed by Laurence Olivier, and starring his wife, Vivien Leigh, the production was a family affair. Leigh went on to win an Oscar for her role in the 1951 film adaptation of Williams' play, proving (if needed) that there was more to her performance than her partnership with the director. The most recent world premiere, Tina the Tina Turner Musical, opened in 2018, and has since been seen by more than 56 million people world wide. 

What are the best seats at the Aldwych Theatre?

The auditorium has three levels, these are the Stalls (ground level) Dress Circle (one level up) and Grand Circle (two levels up)

The theatre is tall and slim, and provides great views from all levels. The Stalls are closest to the stage, and are great if you want to feel fully immersed in the piece. Some rows in the rear Stalls are slightly obstructed by the overhang from the Dress Circle, but this is unlikely to severely affect the overall viewing experience.

The Dress Circle has an excellent rake - meaning that large heads and larger hairdos in front of you won’t affect your view. Due to the curve of the balcony, seats 1-6 and 28-33 in Row A of the Dress Circle are often cheaper than their neighbours as they face side-on to the stage. If you don’t mind having a slightly rounded view of the stage, these seats may be a bargain.

There are only 11 rows in the Grand Circle, making it an intimate seating section in the theatre. As it is the furthest section from the stage, the Grand Circle may feel distant from the stage, however rows A-C offer brilliantly clear and unrestricted views.

The queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll has reigned from the Aldwych Theatre for an incredible six years making it the longest running show ever to play at the theatre. With its pulse-pounding soundtrack and the inspirational story at its centre, it’s no wonder why the international mega-hit keeps rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on!

Not one to look back at this remarkable milestone, the West End phenomenon is planning its future, by today announcing their brand-new cast who will be taking over the much loved roles from Tuesday 25 June 2024.
