Here tonight!
Hope this picks up in the second act, or they can bring the gun back out and shoot me
Either scenario is fine

2 stars. Seat E3 in the dress circle. £130 ticket down to £25.
0.5 stars for the fabulous interiors of the Aldwych theatre
0.5 stars for the encore
1 star for simply the best
Nkeki is a great singer. She wasn't giving me Tina though, didn't get much Tina until the high energy ending. Wish I got to see the show before the cast change, judging from earlier posts I would have enjoyed it a lot more!
The first half is dreadful. I was oscillating between deep sleep and going deaf for the duration of it.
Latter part of the second half saves the show.
Oh honey. Imagine if you paid £130 for this. Ohhhhhhhhh honeeeeey. The scam of the century. For £25 I'm still not sure if it was money well spent.

Plenty of people have enjoyed this as well if you look back through the thread, but base your judgment on one review if you want, your prerogative...! |

Plenty of people have enjoyed this as well if you look back through the thread, but base your judgment on one review if you want, your prerogative...! I shall see it in good time.. I’ll probably even try for rush tickets tonight. Merely said I was happy I’d chosen Book of Mormon. Although, it certainly looks like Adrienne is sorely missed and the show has fallen flat without her, and that’s not coming just from the one review, but from at least a few other peoples prerogative...! 🤣 |

Saw this again on Monday with a Lucky Dip ticket. And enjoyed it more second time around.
Was there unfashionably early as the booking said the latest time to collect was at 7pm. So I was there in case they did the allocations live. But they were already allocated and I had an excellent seat in the centre of the second row Stalls. Perfect place to sit for this as the stage is low.
Aisha Jawando was on as Tina (the alternate). Excellent and many times better than the person I saw play the role last year.
I think this is better second time around as you realise it's not going to be a particularly great jukebox musical and you can just enjoy it for what it is. The other change was the audience was much better behaved (or all the noisy ones were much further back). There was some kind of raised voice argument going on at the back of the Stalls in the first half and the odd phone, but these were mostly drowned out by the music.
Would be interesting to see how the Lucky Dip ticket allocation compares with that for the Rush tickets.

I saw Aisha last year and thought she was fine, but nothing outstanding.

Ah, that's interesting. Funnily enough I saw her years ago in an unofficial Tina musical that predated this once, called "Soul Sister" - she was the alternate in that one too.
It's a living!

Would be interesting to see how the Lucky Dip ticket allocation compares with that for the Rush tickets. I was there Monday too and had no idea who was playing Tina (got there just in time—didn't get to see cast changes)—thanks for clearing that up! And I can attest to the badly behaved audience towards the back...all the arguing and phones and singing along seemed to be in my row  Not sure if it was all of the distractions or the lost light that is Adrienne Warren but I enjoyed it more the first time around, though it did pick up in the second half and Aisha Jawando really has a lovely voice. |

I saw Tina for the first time a couple of weeks ago in London and I was surprised at all the onstage costume changes where you could see the wigs being ripped off. At one point a wig actually rolled across the stage. Has anyone else noticed that and thinks its a bit sloppy?

Does anyone know why the OLC hasn't been released on CD?
(And if there are plans to?)
You'd think they'd at least want something physical to sell in the theatre along with the 50 quid programmes....

LOL - it wasn't actually 50 quid - but they were EXTORTIONATE. Much like the ticket prices. |

TodayTix are doing Rush tickets which are £25. Anytime I’ve looked, I’ve only managed to get back of Grand Circle on these, so never bothered, or, you can get £35 tickets here: tinathemusical.com/uk/thirtyfive/ |
