The cast of Broadway musical Tina: The Tina Turner<\/a> Musical<\/em><\/a> stopped by The Late Show<\/em> to perform \u201cRiver Deep, Mountain High.\u201d<\/a> Led by the musical\u2019s star Adrienne Warren, the cast was joined for the performance by an orchestra who barely fit on host Stephen Colbert\u2019s stage.<\/p>\n

Tina<\/em> opened on Broadway in November. Turner told Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a> for a cover story last year that originally she wasn\u2019t interested in bringing her life to the stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cTina<\/em> had to be truthful, or there was no point in doing it,\u201d Turner wrote in an essay. \u201cIt also had to be entertaining. That was a tall order. The odds were in their favor when they found Adrienne Warren to play Tina. Her performance couldn\u2019t be an impersonation \u2014 my fans would never accept that \u2014 they know every look, every gesture. So, my advice to Adrienne was, \u2018You\u2019re not Tina. Don\u2019t try to mimic me. And you have to be a little bit yourself.\u2019 She had to find a way to communicate \u2018essence of Tina,\u2019 in the way she sang, moved, and related to the audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cI also hope my story touches a new generation of women. I want to pass the baton, so to speak, to them, and anyone facing a challenge, so they leave the theater standing proud, with their chests out and chins up, inspired to believe, \u2018I can do it.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Tina is currently playing at Broadway\u2019s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. Ticket booking<\/a> is open through September 2020.<\/p>\n
