Musical that celebrates the life and legacy of iconic musical artist Tina Turner has captivated more than eight million theatregoers worldwide

Victoria, BC — Broadway in Victoria announces the Victoria premiere of the award-winning Broadway musical TINA – The Tina Turner Musical, on stage from January 6-11, 2026, at Victoria’s Royal Theatre (805 Broughton St).

Lauded as “something everybody everywhere should come see” by New York Magazine, TINA – The Tina Turner Musical is the inspiring true story of a woman who defied racism, sexism, and ageism to become the global Queen of Rock ‘n Roll. This smash-hit stage production celebrates Tina Turner’s incredible talent and triumphant rise from a small-town girl with a big voice to an international icon, and features some of her biggest hits, including “What’s Love Got to Do with It,” “Proud Mary,” “The Best,” and “River Deep – Mountain High.”
