As the musical received its world premiere in the West End, you won’t be able to celebrate this iconic artist anywhere else. So, if you’re looking to see one of the hottest shows in town and be able to get up out of your seat and have a dance at the end of the show, then you’ll want to book tickets for Tina because it’s “Simply The Best”.
