Adrienne Warren channels an electrifying, go-for-broke spirit and a harrowing, against-all-odds life—as Tina: The Tina Turner Musical comes to Broadway.
—though when she was called in to do a workshop reading ofme? The creative team had looked at other actresses, but as soon as Warren came in they knew that they’d found their leading lady. “What she has is just the most spellbinding combination of passion for performing and awesome technique,” Lloyd says. “You have the uncanny experience of feeling like you’re watching Tina Turner, but it’s also completely Adrienne. It’s a kind of magic act.
“You see her go from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows,” Warren says. “You see her as a queen and then, the next second, you see her punched in the face and knocked to the ground. And then, like the survivor, the warrior she is, you see her get right back up.”Tina , of course, is the extraordinary catalog of songs that she made famous starting in the early 1960s, from “Proud Mary” and “River Deep—Mountain High” to, decades later, “Private Dancer” and “What’s Love Got to Do With It.” But Lloyd and Hall didn’t want to trot out the songs as a series of greatest hits to be applauded; instead they use them to advance the story and amplify its emotions. Fortunately, the material seemed to dovetail with her life.
Warren also draws, she says, from the energy of the audience, whose visceral response to her powerhouse performance carries her through the show. For Lloyd, that ability to connect is what makes Warren so crucial—and what will make her a star. “Fiona Shaw once said that you have to be willing to die when you go onstage,” Lloyd says, “and there’s a large element of that with Adrienne—as there was with Tina. Audiences want that; they need it.
