TINA Turner’s West End musical has some squeaky performances — from a horde of mice.

Audience members squealed after noticing the pests running around the Aldwych Theatre’s floor.

One fan said: “Tina’s musical was amazing but it was a mouse that brought the house down.

“I saw three of them running around and they were darting around the seats, which was making some people shriek.

“A member of staff told us the theatre had a problem with them and that they were trying their best to solve it.”

The fan added: “We know that it’s an old theatre but the mice were not a welcome ensemble.”

Tina: The Tina Turner Musical first opened in London in 2018.

The singer worked with theatre bosses to create the production.

She died aged 83 in May after a long illness.

The show began a new run on Wednesday night.

It tells the story of Tina’s life, from when she was born Anna Mae Bullock through to her years as a global singing sensation and her abusive relationship with her husband Ike.

Before her death, Tina sold more than 150 million records worldwide.

Her hits included The Best, River Deep — Mountain High, What’s Love Got To Do With It and Proud Mary.
