Caroline Borole – The Lead

The lead role of Tuner Turner is played by South African born Caroline Borole. She was handpicked by Showtime Australia director, Johnny Van Grinsven to take this powerful role to stage. For Caroline Borole, music has been a major influence in her life. The South African-born songstress credits her family for saturating her childhood with various genres and artists, many of which helped shape Caroline’s own personal musical style.

After her three years at University, Caroline ventured into the entertainment industry, landing notable roles on television shows and musical productions, including appearances in Generations, On the Couch, Under African Skies and a starring role as Effie White in the South African national production of the musical Dream Girls. Eventually, Caroline found her way of becoming a member of Showtime Australia. She began touring as a backup singer for two of the company’s largest productions, The Greatest Love of All: Whitney Houston Show & the Michael Jackson HIStory show. Discovering Showtime Australia was bringing in a new show, Tina – Simply The Best, Caroline knew it was her chance to take the spotlight.

With hours of study and repetition of the Tina – Simply The Best set list, Caroline used her bold personality and knowledge of various music genres to conquer Tina’s iconic growls, grunts and raspy vocals. As well as this, Caroline became acquainted with the highly intense dancing Turner performed on stage for her audiences. Borole explained that although a challenge at first, her passion is performing, and she will happily endure the painful workout to leave her heart on stage for the audiences of Tina: Simply The Best. 

Tina: Simply The Best is proudly brought to you by Showtime Australia in association with Roodepoort Theatre.
