Germany loves TINA - THE Tina Turner MUSICAL: the only original production by Stage Entertainment authorized by Tina Turner celebrated the German premiere in the Hamburg State "Operettenhaus" on Sunday evening.

The audience took to their feet at the curtain call, giving the Company a standing ovation and when Tina Turner joined the Company on stage, there was no holding back: "I am absolutely thrilled", says Tina Turner. "This musical means a lot to me and I am very pleased that the German audience acclaims it, too. I wish the production of TINA a great time in Hamburg at the Reeperbahn."

Over 1,200 invited guests experienced the story, which has never before been told till now, of the woman who ventured like no other artist to break down the borders of age, sex and skin color. From her modest beginnings in Nutbush, Tennessee, to her transformation up to her rise to becoming an internationally celebrated and popular rock icon.
