Rolling into Montreal: TINA – The Tina Turner Musical

Posted on Author Tina Wayland Comments Off on Rolling into Montreal: TINA – The Tina Turner Musical

A live band, a vibrant stage, and a set list that will have you tapping along and mouthing all the words—TINA – The Tina Turner Musical is at Place des Arts for 8 show-stopping performances as part of a sensational world tour.

Catch American Idol finalist Jayna Elise in the role of Tina as we follow the singer from her humble beginnings in Nutbush, Tennessee to her triumph as the Queen of Rock’n’roll—overcoming adversity and breaking barriers all along the way.

It is an inspiring journey like no other, set to the soundtrack of Turner’s greatest hits with an electrifying atmosphere that captures the very essence of the singer, whose work spanned five decades.

Written by Pulitzer-Prize-winning playwright Katori Hall, this smash-hit production was loved by the singer herself:

“It’s really important to me to have the chance to share my full story. This musical is not about my stardom. It is about the journey I took to get there. Each night I want audiences to take away from the theatre that you can turn poison into medicine.” – Tina Turner

Catch TINA – The Tina Turner Musical at Place des Arts until Sunday, February 9. Tickets can be purchased here.
