The show has gone from success to success since its inception in 2013, boasting sell-out shows in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Europe and the U.K.
The two-hour stage show – an uplifting tribute to the music and memory of global superstar and pop icon Whitney Houston – features the breath-taking vocal talent of South African songstress Belinda Davids who brings Houston’s biggest pop hits and ballads to life, live on stage.

“I want people to come and remember Whitney when she was at the top of her game and when she was fabulous”, says Davids.
The show features 20 of the pop diva’s most loved tracks from the full span of her 29-year career, including I Will Always Love You, Greatest Love of All, I Wanna Dance With Somebody, I Have Nothing, One Moment In Time, Run To You, Saving All My Love, Queen of the Night, Million Dollar Bill and I’m Every Woman.

Director Johnny Van Grinsven said: “The U.K.’s a hard market to crack because it’s an entertainment hub, there’s so much competition, but we got incredible responses from every audience, standing ovations every night, and it’s a testament to the quality of the show. We’re excited to be bringing it back!”
