Here's the scoop: Tina was hands-on with the production of this musical, and she's been sharing her behind-the-scenes experiences with fans on social media. On the day of the premiere, she couldn't help but express her excitement on Instagram. She posted a group photo of the cast and wrote, “After three years of hard work from our fantastic cast and crew, @tinathemusical makes its World Premiere Performance at The @aldwychtheatre tonight,” she captioned. “This journey has been incredibly meaningful to me, and I’m so proud of everyone involved.

After watching the performance from the audience, the 12-time Grammy Award-winning legend opened up to BBC News. She admitted, “Seeing someone else perform what we did for 40 years is challenging. I’m a perfectionist, so I tend to critique, but when I see it done so brilliantly, I feel immense pride. It’s been an emotional journey, but I’m thrilled with how everything turned out.”
