The hit West End musical has closed after 7 years.
Last updated 14th May 2025
The Tina Musical is set to close after seven years in London’s West End.
The show tells the story of the late singer Tina Turner, telling her life story from her beginnings in Nutbush, Tennessee to becoming a rock-and-roll star.
The musical has been the longest-running production in the Aldwych Theatre’s history with its first showing at West End in April 2018.
Since then, productions of the show have opened in North America, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands and Australia, with a Brazilian production opening in February 2026.
In Turner’s career she achieved 11 UK top 10 songs and two UK number one albums, and released songs such as River Deep, Mountain High, Nutbush City Limits and Tell Her I'm Not Home at the beginning of her career with her then husband Ike Turner.
She went on to her solo career where she achieved global success with songs such as What's Love Got To Do With It?, The Best and Private Dancer.
Speaking about the show's cancellation, producer Tali Pelman said: "The decision to close our West End production has been extremely difficult.
"Celebrating and sharing Tina's legacy has meant so much to all of us who have been working on this show over the last decade.
"We are proud to have fulfilled Tina's dream for the musical, which was to serve not only as a reminder of her work but as the beating heart of her empowering message - courage, indomitable spirit and an eternal optimism in what is possible.
"We are grateful to our exceptional authors and creatives, to the many extraordinary women who have played this phenomenal role on the Aldwych stage, to the casts, musicians, production and backstage teams, and to the countless others who have dedicated themselves to the London production over the past 10 years.
"We are delighted that the show is selling out on tour across the UK and Ireland, and continues to elate audiences in productions across North America, Europe and around the world.
"In London this will be a summer of celebration, led by our glorious duo of Karis Anderson and Fleur East in our final West End cast."
The musical's last show will take place on September 13th.
