Ike was a kind of 26 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: the big star in the beginning. 27 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 2: Well, he was at a Ver's Bengali approach. He was 28 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: Ike Turner and the Ikets. Tina was part of the Ikets. 29 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, and last night, I know there's maybe a few Tinas. 30 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: Josh Bell played Tina and I've never seen anything like it. 31 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: I heard a few people saying it's like seeing Tina 32 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: in concerts. Someone said, she became Tina. That's really how 33 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: it feels. Amazing, And everyone's so invested in Tina that 34 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: everyone's loving the good parts of a story, Like people 35 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: are horrified when Ike's brutal to her, and when she retaliates, 36 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: people go. 37 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, right on. 38 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: And when Irwin, her German to be husband arrives on 39 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: the scene, people go yes. And he gets a big 40 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: ovation at the end just because he plays the guy 41 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: who saved Tina. People are just so invested in the 42 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: story of Tina Turner. And I think seeing this show 43 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: since her passing she died a week into this theater 44 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 1: production that's run, gives it this other emotional element. It's 45 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: so powerful and it is just song after song after song. 46 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: But her story is extraordinary, and it's what a brilliant night. 47 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: I think they're selling tickets at the moment, right up 48 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: until the end of December.
