“Tina,” the musical based on Tina Turner’s tumultuous life story, is crossing the pond and moving to Broadway.
The show, which debuted on London’s West End in April, will hit the Great White Way in New York in the fall of 2019, the singer announced Wednesday.
“Bringing the musical to life on stage and working with this team has meant so much to me. And now, I’m happy to share that we will next come to Broadway in Fall 2019,” Turner tweeted. “I’m very excited to share this beautiful musical with New York audiences. Can’t wait to see you there!”
The show revisits Turner’s modest Tennessee beginnings and rise to international stardom. It includes her hits “Private Dancer,” “River Deep, Mountain High,” “Better Be Good to Me” and “Proud Mary.”
The Grammy Award winner has previously said that the musical is not about her stardom, but the journey she took to get there.
