Archive images released today mark 59 years since Tina Turner performed as the support act for the Rolling Stones in 1966, on the Southampton stage then known as the Gaumont Theatre.
It comes as Tina: The Tina Turner Musical plays at Mayflower Theatre – which was the Gaumont.
Tina: The Tina Turner Musical is the story of legendary artist Tina Turner, the twelve-time Grammy Award winning Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll.
Set to the pulse-pounding soundtrack of her iconic hits, including The Best, What’s Love Got To Do With It?, Private Dancer and River Deep, Mountain High, the musical is an inspiring true story of a woman who dared to dream fiercely, shatter barriers and defy the bounds of age, gender, and race to conquer the world against all odds.
Tina – The Tina Turner Musical is produced by Stage Entertainment, Joop van den Ende and Tali Pelman, in association with Tina Turner.
Tina – The Tina Turner Musical is dedicated to the memory of Tina Turner, who sadly passed away in May 2023.
Tickets for Tina: The Tina Turner Musical (on until Saturday 18 October) are on sale at mayflower.org.uk or 02380 711811.
