The musical is also now booking in the West End until the 10th January 2026.
It has been announced that TV and Radio presenter and recording artist Fleur East will share the role of Tina Turner alongside one of its current stars, Karis Anderson. This marks Fleur’s West End and theatrical debut. Fleur will perform in the musical from Tuesday 24 June to Saturday 13 September 2025 (check the website for her performance dates).
Fleur East first came to the public’s attention when she placed second in the 2014 series of hit ITV talent show The X Factor.
Talking about the news, producer Tali Pelman said “I am a huge admirer of Fleur, who has always struck me as an extraordinary woman; an exceptional talent who, like Tina Turner, will not allow herself to be defined by others. Fleur’s generosity, optimism, kindness and determination are all qualities that are truly Tina. She is a natural, and we are thrilled she has decided to make her stage debut in our musical. I am tremendously excited that our journey together has begun!”
The full 2025/2026 West End cast has yet to be announced.
Having now been in the West End for over seven years, the musical is directed by Phyllida Lloyd and written by Pulitzer Prize-winner Katori Hall with Frank Ketelaar and Kees Prins.
