40 years after the milestone album "Break Every Rule", Tina Turner's irrepressible energy returns to the stage. The award-winning production "Simply The Best" revives the life's work of the rock legend in a gripping journey through time.
In the spotlight: Coco Fletcher, who blurs the line between homage and reality as the world's best Tina lookalike and takes the audience on another highly emotional journey through five decades of music history in 2026.
The album "Break Every Rule", released in 1986, marked the peak of Tina Turner's solo career with twelve million sales and a world record performance in Rio de Janeiro. Today, the show "Simply The Best" pays tribute to this unprecedented journey of the artist, who died in 2023 in her adopted home of Küsnacht. The production documents Anna Mae Bullock's rise to global legend - from her beginnings with Ike Turner to her private abyss and triumphant comeback with hits such as "Private Dancer" and the Bond song "Goldeneye".
The tribute, which won the award for best tribute show in Las Vegas, focuses on Turner's enormous resilience. With over 180 million records sold, she left behind a musical legacy that is brought to life in a highly emotional way in this production by a first-class ensemble of live band and dancers. At the center is Dorothea "Coco" Fletcher, whose performance comes amazingly close to the original, both vocally and visually.
Fletcher's interpretation impresses with its characteristic timbre and an energy that even impressed the rock icon during her lifetime. A legal dispute over the deceptively real portrait of the leading actress brought the production additional international recognition and confirmed the quality of the performance. Together with her ensemble, Fletcher brings the atmosphere of the big stadium tours back into the halls.
Producer Bernhard Kurz, an experienced expert in musical biographies, has created a lasting monument to the "Queen of Rock" with this work. Following his success with portraits of Elvis Presley and the Beatles, he has dedicated himself to the life story of a woman who is still regarded as an unbeatable role model for strength and courage.
The 2026 tour will once again take the production through Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It is an opportunity to experience the unmistakable sound of classics such as "The Best" and "We Don't Need Another Hero" up close once again and to revisit the impressive life journey of one of the most important artists in music history.
