"Simply the best" reviews Tina Turner's great musical work and presents the best hits to celebrate with her. A tribute to Tina, an icon of music history and a role model of courage and strength.

The "Private Dancer Tour" in 1985 was Tina Turner's first solo tour after her divorce from her drug-addicted and violent husband Ike Turner. The tour for her 5th studio album with 180 shows worldwide is regarded as the starting signal for her rocket-like rise, which went down in music history as the greatest comeback. 40 years after the start of her incomparable solo career, "Simply The Best - The Tina Turner Story" pays tribute to the unique life's work of the most important artist of recent decades. Most recently, the successful production caused quite a stir in the course of a long legal dispute over the portrait of the leading actress and the world's best Tina lookalike Dorothea "Coco" Fletcher and gained international prominence and recognition following the verdict in the last instance. The show has already thrilled hundreds of thousands of visitors and will be touring Germany, Austria and Switzerland again in 2025.

A highlight among the musical biographies and a must for all Tina Turner fans who want to experience the eventful life of the exceptional artist with all her great hits up close and live once again: "Simply The Best - The Tina Turner Story" depicts the life of the exceptional artist with lots of live music and impressive scenes and takes the audience on a journey through five decades of music history: from initial successes, the failure of a great love and finally, after the break-up, Tina's sensational solo career to the film music of "James Bond 007 - Goldeneye" in the mid-90s.

From difficult circumstances to a stellar solo career with the "Private Dancer Tour"

Anna Mae Bullock, born on November 26, 1939 in Brownsville, Tennessee (USA), grew up in Nutbush and died on May 24, 2023 in her adopted home of Küsnacht near Zurich (Switzerland), became a global star and legend as Tina Turner. From 1958, she performed alongside her future husband Ike Turner. After the separation and the private abyss, her first solo tour for the album "Private Dancer" in 1985 was the outstanding comeback as a solo artist. Her legendary performance in 1988 in Rio de Janeiro in front of more than 180,000 spectators even earned her an entry in the Guinness Book of Records. In 2009, the singer with the unmistakable timbre went on her last world tour. This tour was the grand finale to an extraordinary career with over 180 million records sold, countless number 1 hits and chart positions such as "Simply The Best", "Private Dancer" and "We Don't Need Another Hero". Even after her death, Tina Turner remains an unbeatable role model for strength and courage.

Fletcher, who grew up in Alabama/USA, celebrated her first successes in Las Vegas: There she performed with soul greats such as The Platters and Bobby Womack and sang successfully in shows such as "American Superstars". She has been part of the first cast of "Stars in Concert" since September 1997. Since 2004 she has regularly appeared on stage with Udo Jürgens and in 2005 she sang a duet with Jermaine Jackson (Jackson Five). Coco Fletcher became famous in Germany and Switzerland after Pepe Lienhard engaged her for his live tours and TV appearances. She also gave goosebumps on "Let's Dance" 1 & 2 (RTL) and sang for Quincy Jones at the "42nd Montreux Jazz Festival" in 2008.
