Broadway's Tina: The Tina Turner Musical held a special performance January 31 to benefit the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization: RAINN. The one-night-only event, featuring a cocktail reception hosted by Vogue's editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, welcomed Billy Porter, Yara Shahidi, Jeremy Pope, Janet Mock, Katori Hall, Phyllida Lloyd, and more.
“Tina's story is an inspirational story of triumph and courage, overcoming obstacles and defying odds,” said Wintour, who was proud to partner with RAINN, an organization that has helped over three million domestic and sexual assault survivors in its 25-year history.
