Belinda Davids as Whitney Houston

IF YOU JUST WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY...
You better believe we’re referencing the legendary Whitney Houston. Her musical legacy is brought to life on stage in the ultimate tribute show The Greatest Love of All starring Belinda Davids. Davids has performed alongside the likes of Keri Hilson, Keyshia Cole and Monica – and definitely has the pipes to do your favorite Whitney songs justice. Even “I Will Always Love you.”

David Foster sits at a piano

IF YOU'VE ALWAYS LOVED TOP 40 RADIO...
You might not know David Foster, but you most certainly know his music. One of the most decorated individuals in the history of music, Foster is hailed as the industry’s “hitman.” He’s written, arranged and produced dozens of hits for some celebrated artists including Celine Dion, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Michael Bublé, Chicago, Mariah Carey, Destiny’s Child, ’N Sync … the list goes on and on. In his one-night-only show, he shares his hits and latest music.
