‘The Greatest Love of All’ returns

After debuting with a sold-out 6-week run in Joburg last year, The Greatest Love of All – The Whitney Houston Show starring Belinda Davids will be returning to the Joburg Theatre for a limited season from 22 January–15 February.

This brilliant concert featuring South Africa’s own Belinda Davids is equal parts fun, touching and uplifting. Accompanied by a live band and dancers, Davids pays tribute to one of the world’s most revered singers by performing over two hours of Houston’s pop hits.

And there is no person better equipped to do so. In addition to having a voice described as ‘jaw-droppingly similar’ to the pop diva, Davids openly acknowledges that Houston is her personal idol and was the original inspiration for her own career when she began singing at the age of 14.

“I want people to come and remember Whitney when she was at the top of her game and when she was fabulous”, said Davids.

And people all over the world have done exactly that, with South Africa, New Zealand, Singapore, Canada and the USA already hosting sold-out performances in the show’s first year of touring.

The show includes over 20 of Houston’s most popular tracks taken from the full span of her career, including I Will Always Love You, I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Didn’t We Almost Have It All, I’m Every Woman, Exhale (Shoop Shoop), Million Dollar Bill and more.

Davids will again be directed by Showtime Management CEO John van Grinsven Snr and joined on tour by the production team responsible for the worldwide hit show Michael Jackson HiStory starring Kenny Wizz.

The Greatest Love of All opens on The Mandela stage at Joburg Theatre on 22 January and will run until 15 February. The show runs from Thursdays to Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm.
