COLUMBUS, Ohio — A musical depicting the inspiring journey of one of the world’s best-selling artists is coming to the Ohio Theatre in May.
Broadway in Columbus will host “TINA – The Tina Turner Musical” from May 7-12 at the Ohio Theatre.
Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Katori Hall and directed by the internationally acclaimed Phyllida Lloyd, the story follows the journey of a woman who broke barriers and became known as the Queen of Rock n’ Roll.
When Turner was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in October 2021, she became one of only three women in the institution’s history to be inducted twice.
Attendees will hear some of Turner’s biggest hits set to complement the uplifting comeback story.
The North American touring cast is led by Ari Groover and Parris Lewis who will evenly share the role of Tina Turner, each playing four (of the eight) performances a week.
It also stars Deon Releford-Lee as Ike Turner, Roz White as Zelma Bullock, Wydetta Carter as Gran Georgeanna and Sarah Bockel as Rhonda.
The ensemble includes Daelyanna Kelly Benson, Antonio Beverly, Ben Bogen, Karen Burthwright, Aliyah Caldwell, Brianna Cameron, Max Falls, Zachary Freier-Harrison, Reyna Guerra, Gordia Hayes, Takia Hopson, Geoffrey Kidwell, Symphony King, Gigi Lewis, Natalia Nappo, Wildlin Pierrevil, Gerard M. Williams, Nia Nelson-Williams, Terance Reddick, Shari Washington Rhone, Eric Siegle, Kristopher Stanley Ward, Christine Suddeth, and Jeff Sullivan.
