@africanaustralian: Accor Stadium is bracing for a thrilling tribute as Ruva Ngwenya, the Australian-Zimbabwean star of ‘TINA – The Tina Turner Musical,’ performs at the 2023 NRL Telstra Premiership Grand Final tonight. Ngwenya’s anticipated performance of Tina’s iconic hits will honor the late Queen of Rock 'n' Roll and her impactful relationship with Rugby League, remembering her since her passing earlier this year on May 24. The musical, a magnificent journey through Tina Turner's life and career, has earned significant praise and multiple awards and nominations. This year's grand final is particularly significant, marking 30 years since Tina’s iconic 1993 performance and recognising her role as the emblematic face of the NSWRL during 1989-1995. Andrew Abdo, NRL CEO, highlighted that Ngwenya’s performance would be a “memorable moment for fans,” and a heartfelt homage to Tina and her enduring legacy in Rugby League. Before the intense battle between Penrith Panthers and Brisbane Broncos begins, fans will witness exhilarating renditions of 'Simply The Best,' and 'Proud Mary.' This musical tribute will echo Tina’s timeless tunes through Accor Stadium, a resonant salute to the enduring Queen of Rugby League. . . . #AfricanAustralian #NRL #nrlgf #NRLGF2023 @Ruvarashe Ngwenya #RuvaNgwenya #TinaTurner #tinathemusical
