Simply the best
Fans will be spellbound in Sydney next year when Tina - The Tina Turner Musical makes it's Aussie debut. The Broadway and West End show traces the singer's humble beginnings and endless challenges, and of course her rise to global stardom. Although the star herself isn't in the show, fans can still expect to hear a lineup of greatest hits including "What's Love Got To Do With It" and "Proud Mary". tinathemusical.com.au
