This hit-filled musical, authorized by the late performer, charts the tumultuous journey of Tennessee-born Anna Mae Bullock, later christened Tina Turner by Ike Turner, the showman and bandleader who discovered her, married her and abused her. By Act II, Turner has shed her violent first husband and embarks on a new musical vision as a solo artist, despite the pervasive racism and ageism of the era. The songs are a marvelous assemblage of 20th-century rock and soul. Broadway in Miami at Adrienne Arsht Center, 1300 Biscayne Blvd, Miami (305-949-6722, arshtcenter.org). Jan 14–19: various show times; $30–$135.
