Darwin Amphitheatre, November 1993. Under a sweltering Territory night sky, a young First Nations boy is swept up by an electrifying presence – Tina Turner. A journey of identity, self-discovery, sequins and transformation begins …
Created and performed by acclaimed First Nations drag artist Miss Ellaneous (Ben Graetz), this dazzling showcase blends storytelling, cabaret and drag in a heartfelt homage to the forever Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Featuring acclaimed Ursula Yovich fresh off her successful season at Sydney Festival, fabulous turns from leading drag, First Nations and LGBTIQ+ performers, TINA – A Tropical Love Story is more than a tribute, it’s a high voltage celebration of Top End community, queer culture and the music of one of the all-time great singers. Simply the Best? Better believe it!
