Tina (The Tina Turner Musical) - Aldwych

That scarf in June is beyond pretentious

a little pink near the face does wonders for a lady of a certain age.

Well Elaine is very wise. I never leave the house without something pink, although at this time of year I alternate with burnt orange and bright yellow.

Does anyone know Adrienne's holiday dates? Looking to go in July and want to make sure it's a show where she's scheduled to be on.

She does all shows apart from Thursday matinee and Monday. Not sure about holiday dates tho.

We saw this at the weekend and absolutely loved it. A fantastic production and it was wonderful sitting in the front row, being able to see the gorgeous costumes. The Ikete's coats, in particular, were to die for. Adrienne's dresses wouldn't have looked out of place on the Latin dancers on Strictly. 

Everyone was on their game and, apart from a very dodgy German accent, there was no weak link. We did, however, have some sound issues, mainly when Adrienne was singing. Her voice was coming from somewhere indeterminate within the theatre and also was a nano-second behind her lips. We fleetingly wondered if she was miming at one point. (She wasn't.) When she duetted with the girl playing Anna Mae (an absolute power-house! We loved her!) it was much more apparent. Anna Mae's voice sounded, from the front row, like it was coming out of her mouth. Adrienne's voice did not. I had trouble hearing maybe 50% of what she was singing. Which was a shame as she is a tour de force.

The kids in general were amazing - to have to act with the violence going on around them, actually getting 'hit' in Anna Mae's case and pretending to be beaten in Craig's case must have been quite daunting at the start of rehearsals. Full marks to whoever trained them. It was wonderful to see they got their own, individual bows.

Three of the actresses genuinely cried at various times, whilst giving performances that made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Some amazing talent was on that stage.

Sound issues aside, this was a great show and the audience loved it too, with a full standing ovation before the stand-up-and-singalong bit. 

And worth mentioning, at £8 the programme is probably one of the best I've ever bought. Lots of Tina information, timelines and photos.

Just had a quick look now on the nederlander website, all I can find is various £19.50 ones for the back end of the year early next year. Though these seem to be for the mid week shows rather than the Fri / Sat shows.
They are few and far between. All the £10 tickets on the random dates i picked appear to be taken.  Hope this helps. 

I just read she is on vacation next week!

I was there last night. I agree with everyone: Adrienne Warren is incredible!

As a visitor from the U.S., I'm so glad I learned about the show from this board well before my trip, since otherwise I might not have been able to snag such a great seat in the stalls.

When this moves to Broadway, I hope we can steal Adrienne back. Until then, Londoners must see her as many times as they can . . .

Has anyone else heard this? I’m going on Tuesday and am really hoping to see Adrienne.

She is on holiday - Cynthia Erivo posted an Instagram story this morning while she was heading to Heathrow with Adrienne!

Have to agree. I think jukebox musicals (of which I don't normally go and see) are a bit predisposed to be hokey/corny, and this show teetered dangerously on that line.

Plus a lot of the audience were the "girls night out" brigade - loud and ghastly.
