Flaws and all, I really enjoyed TINA. Adrienne Warren is just so incredible, and her performance is one that is seared in my my memory forever.

Do we have real confirmation of which nights Adrienne Warren is "on" yet?

Per the website:
Adrienne Warren is scheduled to perform as Tina Turner Tuesday through Saturday evenings and Sunday matinees through October 31, 2021.
Nkeki Obi-Melekwe will perform as Tina Turner for the Wednesday and Saturday matinee performances through October 31, 2021. Beginning November 2, 2021, she will perform as Tina Turner Tuesday through Saturday evenings.
Due to the nature of live theatre, we are unable to guarantee the presence of any particular cast member at a specific show.

That means Nkeki Obi-Melekwe will only be doing 5 shows a week. Curious who the new alternate will be.

It sounds to me like she only takes Sundays off, making it 7 times a week. That is how I read it.

Didn't seem like you knew Wednesday and Saturday matinees exsisted.

I don't know what that word is but it could be Tuesday - Saturdays evenings, every show. It's not a big deal, I'll just ask them.

I never mentioned the show has a new music director upon reopening: Alvin Hough Jr., who was the associate MD (to Nicholas Skilbeck) before the shutdown.

Yes, Warren was incredible. They were all electrifying. The extended performance was icing on the cake. Hope to see her again before she leaves.

Yup, and he’s great! He was the MD of Once On This Island, which of course was also a stellar evening of music.

They live streamed on Instagram Katori’s entire pre-show speech and the first minute of the show so we experienced the roar from the audience as the curtain rose and revealed Adrienne with her back to the audience. They also live streamed the full curtain call including the entire medley done at the end. They even did a pan of the entire audience on their feet after the curtain finally came down.

I was in the Orch. and wondering that as well! Turns out someone in the mezz proposed to their significant other.

HeyMrMusic said: "I probably worded that really poorly. I took away that a Black woman overcame racism, sexism, and abuse that she experienced her entire life and still came out on top. I think the image of a powerful Black woman who’s a survivor and is also a beloved genre-busting icon is something we need to see post-pandemic. I think themes resonated in new ways after the last 18 months."
Ohhh, ok, got it. The word “sneaky” really threw me off. I agree with your sentiments.

She didn't have to make that video or apologize. She is classy, professional, talented, and should make her health her number one priority, always.
