Belinda Davids won the hearts of millions of British TV viewers on BBC One’s Even Better Than The Real Thing, went viral on Facebook with over 12 million views and in America, TV host Steve Harvey was speechless when she performed on Showtime At The Apollo.
Now Belinda Davids and her critically acclaimed The Greatest Love of All: The Whitney Houston Show is to return to the UK for a 25-date national tour from Friday 26 October to Wednesday 28 November.
Davids made her British TV debut in 2017 and left viewers stunned by the similarities between the South-African born singer and the late pop diva. She went on to be crowned winner of the Even Better Than The Real Thing and a 9-date tour of major UK theatres followed, culminating in an unforgettable night at London’s Hammersmith Eventim Apollo.
All the media attention in the UK led to an invitation to appear on stage at Harlem’s legendary Apollo Theatre – where Whitney recorded the video for ‘The Greatest Love of All’ – before its famously critical audience. It was an intense and nerve-wracking occasion but her rendition of Whitney’s ‘I Will Always Love You’ received a standing ovation from one of New York’s harshest audiences, and Davids now counts the experience as one of her career highlights.
The Greatest Love of All: The Whitney Houston Show is a live concert featuring the breathtaking vocal talent of Davids with a fun, heartfelt and uplifting homage to Whitney Houston. Accompanied by a live band and dancers, Davids performs over two hours of Houston’s most loved pop hits live on stage. And there is no person better equipped to do so – critics have been blown away with her “jaw-droppingly similar” voice to the pop diva.
The show includes 20 of Houston’s most popular tracks from the full span of her career, including ‘I Will Always Love You’, ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’ and ‘I’m Every Woman’, combined with replica costuming and full-scale lighting and effects to produce a spectacular concert experience that honours Houston’s memory and celebrates her musical legacy.
The UK autumn tour launches at Perth Concert Hall on Friday 26 October 2018, before heading to Carlisle, Wolverhampton, Eastbourne, High Wycombe, Crawley, Swansea, Blackpool, Edinburgh, Sheffield, Gateshead, Clacton, Skegness, Dartford, Halifax, York, Southend,
Southampton, Rhyl, Ipswich, Poole, Basingstoke, Reading, Portsmouth and Southport. It’s a must-see for diehard Whitney fans and anyone who wants to spend a night with the queen of pop herself.
