Tina Turner passed away in May 2023 after a long illness, leaving behind her an incredible career that spanned over eight decades.

Donovan’s appearance at the annual New Year’s Eve concerts have become a staple of the broadcast and has led to her being dubbed The Queen of NYE.

While Donovan will soon be back in Perth treading the boards for the next six weeks in & Juliet, when the curtain falls on that production it will be replaced by the musical documenting Tina Turner’s life and career.

Tina Turner – The Musical opens at the Crown Theatre on February 27.
