Award-winning Tina Turner tribute show coming to Wakefield's Theatre Royal
A Tina Turner tribute show is heading to the Wakefield’s Theatre Royal and promises to keep you dancing in the aisles.
Totally Tina takes place on Friday, June 5 and stars Justine Riddoch and her cast as they pay homage to the legendary singer.
Now in its 17th year, the show promises a new custom-made performance alongside a selection of Tina Turner’s greatest hits and surprises for both old and new fans.
Justine will belt out hits, supported by her super-talented band and dazzling dancing girls in sequins, feathers and diamonds
Since Totally TINA first sprang to life in the vibrant city of Liverpool, a Lifetime Achievement Award and many other prestigious accolades along the way have earned Justine’s ‘Totally Tina’ a deserved top spot in the musical tribute world.
This year’s production is a heady mix of nostalgia and surprise with all the favourite Tina Turner hits, her best duets, much-loved covers and the odd twist in the tale.
Jumping Jack Flash, Honky Tonky Woman, Get Back, It’s Only Rock and Roll and The Bitch is Back have been added to a set which includes Simply The Best, Proud Mary, Nutbush City Limits and Private Dancer to name a few.
Justine, a past winner of cult talent show, Stars In Their Eyes performing as Anastacia, is known in the business for her enthusiasm and drive, and has been singing professionally for 30 years.
She said: “I am thrilled by the success of this production – we have come so far!
"Having been told on many occasions that I sounded like Tina, I decided to take the plunge and then spent hours familiarising myself with her life story and scrutinising video footage to watch mannerisms and body movements.
“We always add our own personality to the show each year; the element of surprise keeps things fresh, but my ultimate aim is to remain faithful to a Tina Turner live concert paying tribute to her career, and bring the best version of this amazing woman; her voice, her passion and even her legs, to her many fans.
“That’s why we love it when people tell us that they go away feeling as though they have seen the real thing.”
