New York, NY (February 10, 2022) – The producers of TINA—The Tina Turner Musical announced today that a multi-year North American tour will launch at the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC) in Providence, Rhode Island in the Fall of 2022 and visit more than 40 cities in its first year.

“It has been years since I toured the US and I am very excited that my own musical can now bring my music and story to my fans in their home cities across America. Together with the show running on Broadway it’s a homecoming and that is very special to me,” said Tina Turner.

 

The producers, Tali Pelman from Stage Entertainment and Jimmy Nederlander, said: “We are delighted to begin this next chapter for TINA – The Tina Turner Musical. The North American tour will see the show enjoy its sixth production around the world since opening in the West End in 2018, which is testimony to Tina’s extraordinary legacy. This tour clearly has special resonance for Tina herself, and now more than ever we can’t wait to uplift audiences across America with her joyful and triumphant story.”

 

Produced by Stage Entertainment, James L. Nederlander and Tali Pelman, in association with Tina Turner, TINA – THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL was written by Tony Award nominee and Pulitzer Prize winner Katori Hall with Frank Ketelaar and Kees Prins.
