LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Tickets for “TINA — The Tina Turner Musical” at The Kentucky Center go on sale Friday, Sept. 15.

The national tour’s Louisville stop will run from Nov. 28 to Dec. 3. 

Naomi Rodgers — who was part of the first national “Frozen” tour — and Ari Groover — who was the understudy for Tina Turner in the Broadway production — split the titular role of Tina Turner, each playing the music icon for four out of the eight shows.

The 2019 Broadway jukebox musical was nominated for 12 Tony awards, including Best Musical. The show originally opened in West End in 2018.

“The North American tour of ‘TINA — The Tina Turner Musical’ is one of eight productions that have opened around the world since the show began in the West End in 2018, which is testimony to Tina’s extraordinary legacy,” producers, Tali Pelman from Stage Entertainment and Jimmy Nederlander said.

The show follows Tina Turner’s life and journey from living in Tennessee to becoming the queen of rock ‘n roll. It features many of her beloved hits, including: “River Deep - Mountain High,” “(Simply) The Best,” “Proud Mary” and others. The late singer worked on the musical herself.

Now, her story is coming to Louisville to reach old and new fans.

“Let me tell you what surprises me. I’m struck by the way so many of the songs I sang during my career matched my life — that’s not something I thought about while I was performing, but I can see it now. The emotions I expressed were real because I lived those feelings,” she told the Rolling Stone in 2019.

“I also hope my story touches a new generation of women. I want to pass the baton, so to speak, to them, and anyone facing a challenge, so they leave the theater standing proud, with their chests out and chins up, inspired to believe, ‘I can do it,’” she added.

She won 12 Grammy awards for her music and she has sold more concert tickets than any other solo performer in history.

Tickets are available online or by calling 502-584-7777.
