Producers of the hit West End production TINA – THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL have announced that TV/Radio presenter and recording artist Fleur East will join the cast in June 2025 where she will share the role of Tina alongside one of its current stars, Karis Anderson.
The musical, which also announces an extension until 10 January 2026, marks Fleur’s West End and theatrical debut. Fleur will perform in the musical from 24 June-13 September. Patrons are advised to check the website for her performances dates.
Producer Tali Pelman said: “I am a huge admirer of Fleur, who has always struck me as an extraordinary woman; an exceptional talent who, like Tina Turner, will not allow herself to be defined by others. Fleur’s generosity, optimism, kindness and determination are all qualities that are truly Tina. She is a natural, and we are thrilled she has decided to make her stage debut in our musical. I am tremendously excited that our journey together has begun!”
The full 2025/26 cast will be announced in due course.
