The Tina Turner Musical Replaces Back to the Future This Spring

The musical “Back to the Future” ends its time-traveling run in Hamburg in February 2027 — shortly after, “Tina” returns to the Stage Operettenhaus. The pre-sale for the musical chronicling the life of singer Tina Turner is set to begin soon, Stage Entertainment announced. An exact date for the premiere was not initially announced.
World hits such as “What’s Love Got To Do With It,” “Proud Mary,” “Private Dancer,” and “The Best” await audiences. In Germany, the show has already drawn more than a million theatergoers between 2019 and 2024 in Hamburg and Stuttgart combined.
Tina Turner (1939-2023) shaped an era with her distinctive voice and high-energy stage presence for decades. With more than 180 million records sold, she remains one of the most successful artists of all time.
The 1980s science-fiction comedy “Back to the Future” will close with its final performance on February 14, 2027 — nearly a year after its Germany premiere at the Stage Operettenhaus on the Reeperbahn.
