Following a series of sold-out tours across the USA and Canada, the international smash-hit Tina Turner tribute show, TINA: The Ultimate Tribute to the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll, is making a highly anticipated return to Johannesburg. For a limited two-night run on the Mandela Stage at the Joburg Theatre from 30 to 31 August 2025, this spectacular production honours the life and legacy of an incomparable global icon. In fact, it offers the perfect way to close out Women’s Month with a celebration of strength, resilience, and female empowerment.
The Star of the Tina Turner Tribute Show
The powerhouse role of Tina Turner is, of course, brought to life by the phenomenal Caroline Borole, a familiar face from South African Idols and numerous critically acclaimed stage roles.
Fresh from her international tours, where audiences across North America hailed the show, Borole returns home to lead this electrifying tribute to the music legend.
Why This Tribute to Tina Turner Celebrates Women’s Month
Indeed, the show’s timing at the end of Women’s Month adds a particularly poignant layer to the performance. This is because it serves as a tribute not just to Tina’s chart-topping music but also to her incredible journey as a symbol of female strength who overcame immense challenges to define her own success.
‘This show is a tribute not only to Tina’s music but to her strength as a woman. Performing this during Women’s Month in South Africa is a true honor – it’s a celebration of every woman who’s ever had to rise up and reclaim her power.’
~ Caroline Borole
What to Expect from This Tina Turner Production
Ultimately, audiences can expect a high-voltage night filled with Tina Turner’s biggest hits, brought to life by a world-class live band, dazzling costumes, and explosive choreography.
The North Coast Courier describes the production as simply ‘riveting.’ For example, critics note how ‘Caroline Borole inhabits Tina Turner’ on stage, delivering the ‘trademark legs, galactic belting and electric energy’ with stunning precision.
