Tina – The Tina Turner Musical to close in the West End

Tina – The Tina Turner Musical will close in the West End later this year.

The musical, which first opened at the Aldywch Theatre in 2018, emerged as the longest-running show ever to play at the venue, where it has broken all box office records. At the time of closing, it will be in the top ten longest-running musicals performing in the West End.

Stage Entertainment 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 ten 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.”

Recording artist and presenter Fleur East will make her theatrical debut this summer as Tina. She’ll share the role with Anderson.

Directed by Phyllida Lloyd and written by Pulitzer Prize-winner Katori Hall with Frank Ketelaar and Kees Prins, Tina – the Tina Turner Musical is choreographed by Anthony van Laast, with set and costume designs by Mark Thompson, musical supervision by Nicholas Skilbeck, lighting by Bruno Poet, sound by Nevin Steinberg, projection design by Jeff Sugg, orchestrations by Ethan Popp, wigs, hair and makeup design by Campbell Young Associates, casting by Richard Johnston for Pippa Ailion and Natalie Gallacher casting and fight direction by Kate Waters.

Tina will conclude its West End run on 13 September 2025. A UK tour is also underway, due to extend beyond the West End show’s closing date.
