Tina: The Tina Turner Musical Shakes A Tail Feather

It's the biography you know with songs you love.

Before I sat down in my seat for Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, whose national tour is making a stop this week at Baltimore’s Hippodrome Theatre, I thought to myself, ‘I cannot be the right person to talk about this.’

When you walk in, you can’t help but notice disco balls. Yes, the two planted disco balls adorned to the lighting rig by the musical’s production design team, but disco ball earrings. T-shirts. I even noticed one phone background that featured that phone’s owner dancing below one.

I’m not usually associated with disco balls.

Then there’s the fact that I knew next to nothing about Tina Turner.
