Written, Directed and Co-Produced by Ben GraetzThe sultry heat of the tropics meets the electrifying energy of a cultural icon!
In 1993, in the sweltering Darwin Amphitheatre, a young First Nations boy found himself swept away by the legendary Tina Turner. That life-changing evening would spark a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
Blending storytelling, cabaret, and drag, TINA — A Tropical Love Story is a heartfelt tribute to the indomitable spirit of the rock icon. Enter the enchanting realm of First Nations drag performer Miss Ellaneous (AKA Ben Graetz), who shares deeply personal tales of growing up in Darwin and the profound impact of the Queen of rock ‘n’ roll.
★★★★★ “Breaking the well-worn mould of the tribute show, this dazzling production excels in its capacity to create joy.” ArtsHub
This dazzling celebration of Darwin, drag, and Tina Turner is written, performed and directed by Graetz with special performances from the local Tamworth performance arts scene.
Grab your friends and come along to the Tamworth Town Hall in your tropical colours and enjoy our cabaret seating style – the bar will be open and there’ll be our famous cheese boxes available for purchase.
