Tina Turner musical premieres in Denmark starring Iris Gold

The musical “TINA – The Tina Turner Musical” has premiered in Denmark at Falkonersalen in Copenhagen, featuring Danish singer Iris Gold in the title role. The production follows the life of the “Queen of Rock 'n' Roll,” tracing her journey from her childhood in Nutbush, Tennessee, through her early career and turbulent marriage with Ike Turner, to her eventual solo comeback and global superstardom in the 1980s.

The show functions as both a biographical musical and a concert experience, incorporating 23 of Turner’s greatest hits performed by a large ensemble and a live rock band. While the production aims to capture her immense energy and musical legacy, some reviews have noted that the performance by Iris Gold occasionally feels isolated due to a lack of stable supporting roles and an immersive narrative structure.
