A heartfelt tribute to the indomitable spirit of Tina Turner.

Step into a world, where the sultry heat of the tropics meets the electrifying energy of a cultural icon. It’s 1993, in a sweltering Darwin amphitheatre in the Northern Territory. A young First Nations boy finds himself swept away by the legendary Tina Turner – an encounter that would spark a journey of self-discovery and transformation.

Blending storytelling, cabaret and dazzling drag, 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.

TINA – A Tropical Love Story is written, performed and directed by Ben Graetz with performances from guest artists from the drag, First Nations and queer performance scene plus choreography by Sani Townson with producing support from Elaine Crombie. Simply the best!
