The Whitney Houston show returns to Cape Town to celebrate one of the world’s most loved pop divas. It is set for a four-week run at the Artscape Theatre Centre in June.
Starring the breathtaking voice of Cape Town’s Belinda Davids with a seven-piece band, dancers and theatrical effects, The Greatest Love Of All: The Whitney Houston Show is a tribute to a musical icon and a spectacular concert experience.
Having launched over three years ago, the production has achieved great success. It opened with a sold-out, six-week season in Johannesburg, going on to perform to over 80 000 across the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Dubai and North America.
And Capetonians should be proud – the star generating all the excitement is Davids, who almost didn’t even make it to auditions, but now entertains thousands of Whitney fans with an exhausting tour schedule of up to five shows a week for more than six months a year.
The show returns to the city after a successful six-week European tour, which saw audiences in Iceland, Germany and Austria being dazzled by Davids’s vocal talents.
The upcoming season at Artscape Opera House will be its second visit to the city after close to packed out-performances in 2015.
