Tina: Simply The Best, comes fresh from its first ever public performances at Sibaya Casino in Durban last Christmas, where media labelled it “outstanding… a must see.”
Performing in the Theatre of Marcellus from Friday 31 August until Sunday 16 September 2018, Tina: Simply The Best is set to recreate the powerful and energetic vocals and stage presence of the Queen of Rock, Tina Turner.
This live rendition features all the popular tracks that had audiences standing in their seats, as well as the the top Turner hits that had everyone belting their hearts out from one of the world’s most-loved female rock legends over the past few decades.
Hear all the sizzling Rock and soulful R&B hits that made Tina one of the 20th century’s biggest names in music –Simply The Best, What’s Love Got to Do With It, River Deep Mountain High, Proud Mary, Nutbush City Limits, We Don’t Need Another Hero, Jumping Jack Flash, What You Get is What You See, Private Dancer and many more.South African-born songstress, Caroline Borole, will take on the role of Turner in this dazzling two-hour full-scale production. Backed by a world-class live band on stage, Borole will perform over 15 of Turner’s most popular tracks.
“Portraying an icon is never an easy task. To be given the opportunity to do something like this will always be something that I will appreciate and be in awe of,” explains Borole.
The professional South African singer and actress was handpicked by Showtime Australia director, Johnny Van Grinsven, to tackle Turner’s trademark growls, grunts and powerful vocals on stage.
Van Grinsven admits months of vocal work, dance rehearsals, costume fittings, wig adjustments and character study have gone into raising the show to the level of ‘the definitive tribute’.
The outrageously-confident Borole will be accompanied by four energetic dancers to help create the ultimate Tina Turner concert experience. Borole and her dancers, will twist and twirl their way around stage to a live backing band, making this show Simply the Best!
“Tina really puts on a show when she’s on stage, she’s the true essence of ‘a performer’, so when one tries to emulate her you have to make sure you study her – the vocals, the dancing, the walk, the smile, everything – down to a tee,” says Borole.
Tickets for this spectacular show can also be purchased via Computicket at either www.computicket.com or via Checkers and Shoprite retail stores, countrywide, and are priced between R180 and R250 each.
