The life and career of Tina Turner is being developed into a theatrical biographical musical in London by Netherlands-based Stage Entertainment. The show's working title is Tina: The Musical.

Playwright Katori Hall is working with Dutch writers Frank Ketelaar and Kees Prins on the project, with Phyllida Lloyd attached to direct.

"We have been working on the musical for over a year now, and today I am delighted to be able to share our news as we begin the next chapter of our journey," said Turner in a statement.

Tali Pelman, group creative director of Stage Entertainment, added: "Tina is a music legend and her iconic songs are matched only by the power and inspiration of her remarkable and moving story."

The show is currently being workshopped in London.
