Tina - The Tina Turner Musical Reviews

TINA'S TALENT AND LEGACY DESERVES SO MUCH MORE

I came of age with Tina's solo career. She was all legs, sexy, fashion and heat. She had a voice that could move the top off a mountain. Wouldn't know if from this show. They chose great songs and the band was smokin' but that's where the magic ended. Such a literal and unimaginative and uninspired interpretation. For example, the number "Can't stand the Rain" consists of her and Ike under umbrellas. Come on people! Such unimaginative choreo and such a literal interpretation of a song that is so much more than about the RAIN! The young Tina in the start of Act I had the fire but the woman who played adult Tina, her voice had moments of power and veracity but it was not consistent. Truly , Act II was actually painful to sit through! Only the encores brought some heat. If this is your first time to try and experience the magic and power of Tina Turner, it won't work and for those of us who know her power, not only did not do her justice, it was an insult. I know she had a hand in the show but but somewhere along the road, it lost its heart, heat, creativity and sexiness. I didn't think it was possible but this production takes the Tina out of Tina.

TINA THE MUSICAL

I love Tina Turner music and was very disappointed in the production in St. Louis. The actress portraying Tina was not a great dancer and she was difficult to understand when singing. I expected more familiar music and better choreography. The real star of the show was the young actress who played young Tina. She was phenomenal…blew everyone else away. Her voice, enthusiasm and acting were remarkable. Too bad the rest of the show didn’t have her energy.

NOT THE BEST

The set was very cheaply put together. The actress wasn’t able to embody Tina. She did have a great voice but at times was pitchy and hard to understand. It felt like a really long high school play. I struggled to really focus. I think they gave it their all but… the best part was the encore at the end.

WORST PRODUCTION EVER

No acting. No singing. Cheesy production. Absolutely horrible. Left at intermission. There was not a single vocalist that could carry a tune. Off pitch on every song. Would have been kicked off Americas Got Talent. Production was cheap. Ex oh expected so much more. Did not honor Tina Turner at. Show should close.

CHEAP IMITATION OF A BROADWAY PRODUCTION

The acting and the sets were of high school caliber. Those were not Broadway dancers. They did a disservice to Tina Turners voice and overall it was not entertaining. The last two songs at the end were the best part of the whole show. Saw it on Broadway and there’s no comparison…..Cheap and cheesy production

SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Horrible, high school production and producers could do better what a dis service to Tina Turner Legacy... has such hi hopes and nothing but let down. This play group should be ashamed 5o charge for this production. Horrible acting worse singing and worse stage props.. went to Matinee today the 16th at 2pm. Not only did we walk out at intermission but so many others did too. They were all in agreement such a disappointment go back to high-school and music class pleasej

BLAH!

Saw the production in Tempe on the ASU campus. Poor direction...could not understand or hear the dialogue. the actors would begin in a voice and volume that could be heard, but as the actor continued the volume would become a whisper. The volume was muffled and at times became just noise.. I along with others who were in the first balcony left at intermission, This production was a waste of money, time and was a total disappointment. I was a guest and they were the ones who suggested that we leave. I gladly agreed,
