Tina Turner Turns 80 Today: Simply the Best—And Now on Broadway
The story of the legendary singer’s resilience and courage finally came to Broadway this month with the opening of the musical simply called Tina.
The rollicking play depicts Turner’s life story—from growing up in poverty in Tennessee to the physical abuse she suffered at the hands of her ex-husband Ike Turner, followed by the triumphant third act in when she finally leaves him with less than a dollar in her pocket and ends up selling 200 million records as a solo artist.
