TINA, THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL

Jan. 3 - 8 | See website

Grammy-winning Tina Turner may be a celebrated star today, but it was not easy to get there. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Katori Hall and acclaimed director Phyllida Lloyd have brought her story to Broadway and now to DPAC for TINA, The Tina Turner Musical. The production takes a beautiful dive into the strength, perseverance and raw talent Turner wielded to push through racism, the challenges women face in show business and what it means to age as an artist.

John Prine Tribute Tour

Jan. 6 | 8 p.m.

It’s not often that a legendary musician’s relatives go on to replicate their music. While no one will ever be able to replace the late great John Prine’s soft country voice, dry humor or mellow disposition, his brother Billy Prine is on tour sharing his stories and playing his version of Prine’s iconic tracks. This month the John Prine Tribute Tour will make a stop at Cat’s Cradle. From $30; 300 E. Main Street, Carrboro; catscradle.com
