Tina Turner:

26 November 1939 – 24 May 2023

Tina Turner’s contribution as an iconic music artist and performer was and always will be an exceptional influence on fellow artists, and her inspiration to generations who followed her has been legendary. Through her life story and her music, Tina Turner inspired and taught so many people around the world to find strength from within. This is a loss that will be deeply felt.

Tina Turner will always be remembered as a sensational, fearless and iconic superstar who shared an abundance of love, respect and kindness with all of us. Her legacy will live on in so many beautiful ways as we mourn a legendary woman.

TINA: The Tina Turner Musical is a true celebration of this exceptional woman, and in our mourning, we continue to celebrate her life, her talent and her joy. Our love, thoughts, and prayers are with Erwin Bach and Tina’s family.

We invite you to all offer your words and tributes.

TINA is Proud to Support Black Owned Businesses

As part of our year-round initiative here at TINA: The Tina Turner Musical to support Black owned business, we are committed to creating more opportunities beyond the four walls of our theatre. This month, TINA is proud to spotlight Backstage Niche.

Backstage Niche is a community of freelancers from culturally diverse backgrounds who work in technical and backstage theatre, where each freelancer has been recommended by one another.

The company's aim is to encourage the involvement of young people in technical/backstage theatre as well as supporting other freelance technical/backstage theatre professionals from different cultural backgrounds. It is therefore a safe space to be represented by trusting co-workers and to find others in the same field.

The business feels it is important to inform, engage and encourage young theatre makers from different backgrounds about technical/backstage theatre with an aim to close the diversity gap.

Backstage Niche does this through mentorships, work experience, panel talks, workshops and a database of theatre workers where companies and theatre establishments can find a diverse group of freelancers. In addition to this, the business advertises their Niche Freelancers on their official website and social media channels to avoid external excuses such as, "We weren't able to find anyone" or "We didn't know where to look".

With love from,

All at TINA – The Tina Turner Musical x
