The hit production of Tina - The Tina Turner Musical is set to re-open at London’s Aldwych Theatre from 28 July 2021, with a cast led by Aisha Jawando and Jammy Kasongo.

Based on the life of legendary artist Tina Turner and produced in association with Turner herself, the West End production is currently booking to 26 June 2022, including new Sunday performances.  

Having both been members of the original West End company, Aisha Jawando will continue in the title role, with Jammy Kasongo as Ike. Joining them and making her West End debut is Chanel Haynes as the alternate Tina, who will perform the iconic role at certain performances. Further casting will be announced shortly.

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, and orchestrations by Ethan Popp. 

Tina Turner said: “Music has had the power to pull me out of my darkest moments and rejoice during my happiest. To announce the re-opening of our West End show, where my musical had its premiere, means so much to me. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Tina family and our fans from around the world for their continued love and support during these unprecedented times. Let my story be a celebration, a reminder of our resilience and our ability to overcome hardship together.”
