Over 200,000 new tickets will be released later this week for the West End production of Tina - The Tina Turner Musical, taking the current booking period at the Aldwych Theatre to 18 December 2022.

The production has also paired up with REFUGE national domestic abuse charity to celebrate their 50th anniversary since opening the world’s first refuge, whereby a special performance of Tina - The Tina Turner Musical will take place on 10 October 2021.

With a cast led by Aisha Jawando and Jammy Kasongo as Tina and Ike respectively, Chanel Haynes (who plays the role of Tina at some performances each week) is an active supporter of REFUGE and will join the pre-show reception.

For the month of October, when you book through the website for Tina – The Tina Turner Musical, patrons will have the opportunity to add a £3 donation per booking for Refuge.

Chanel Haynes said: “When I got the call that I had been chosen to play Tina in our musical. I was going to live my dream. But there was one thing I didn’t prepare for – how to properly channel the physically-abusive aspect of her life. I asked a dear friend of mine who survived her abusive past to reveal to me and pour into me her pain. After hearing her story, I vowed, I would use this opportunity to shine light on those that need it most. That’s when I found Refuge. Refuge is a lighthouse, and I want to be one of God’s daughters that fuels it’s flame.”

Directed by Phyllida Lloyd and written by Katori Hall with Frank Ketelaar and Kees Prins, Tina - The Tina Turner Musical is choreographed by Anthony van Laast, with set and costume design by Mark Thompson, musical supervision by Nicholas Skilbeck, lighting by Bruno Poet, sound by Nevin Steinberg, projection by Jeff Sugg and orchestrations by Ethan Popp.
