“What’s Love Got to Do With It?”- Only Everything!
By : Avery Patterson and Lizzy Jenkins El
Tina The Tina Turner Musical is an absolute showstopper! This show is centered around the rock and roll icon, Tina Turner, and her rise to national fame. The narrative is constructed with her vast discography, with notable songs such as “What’s Love Got to Do With It” and “Proud Mary,” just to name a few. The songs are sure to have you dancing in your seat just like we were! The talent on the stage is absolutely astounding. Another thing that stood out to us was the incredible band and gorgeous sets that beautifully contributed to the impactful storytelling.
As DPAC ambassador’s we got to see the behind the scenes of what made the show possible that night. Our night started with a meeting between all of the staff, then we were paired with our volunteers. We each learned about different aspects of the theatre based on what position we were placed in. One of us worked at the map station and the other was assigned to ticketing. At the map station you help direct people to where they need to go, and at ticketing you get to see the behind the scenes of the ticket booth. They were both cool jobs. We had so much fun getting to know the volunteers and interacting with the patrons.
From the stunning sets to the incredible talent, this show is a must see! Come see Tina the Tina Turner Musical January 3rd - 8th.
