Decked out in her finest Private Dancer ’80s eleganza and filmed by photographer Kit Karzen, Symone blew the roof off the The Globe Theater in DTLA with powerhouse performances of “What’s Love Got To Do With It,” “I Can’t Stand the Rain,” “Nutbush City Limits,” and “The Best.” It’s safe to say everyone in the club was high on Tina!
