REVIEW: Adrienne Warren’s star turn in “TINA: The Tina Turner Musical”

Adrienne Warren gives a spell-binding, jaw-dropping, star turn in “TINA: The Tina Turner Musical”.  There’s nothing earth-shattering about the show’s conception, construction, or execution—but not much that offends, either.  “TINA”, among the best of its sub-genre of bio-musicals, is a rather unremarkable musical as far as the form is concerned but a terrific entertainment that tells a good story and does it well.  See it for Adrienne Warren’s transcendent performance.
