The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra enthusiastically announces the completion of the 2018 Kroger Symphony on the Prairie season lineup with The Greatest Love of All: The Whitney Houston Show on Aug. 3-4.
This performance at Conner Prairie is part of The Greatest Love of All’s first U.S. tour. The tour announcement comes hot on the heels of star Belinda Davids’ lauded performance on Fox TV’s Showtime at the Apollo Christmas Special in December 2017, where her spine-tingling rendition of “I Will Always Love You” – on the very stage where Whitney Houston filmed her famous Greatest Love of All clip, earned her not only the awe of host Steve Harvey and an enthusiastic ovation from the live audience, but over 10 million views of the performance video in the days following.
Davids is no stranger to U.S. audiences in concert performances, having toured extensively as a backing vocalist for the likes of Keri Hilson, Keyshia Cole and Monica in earlier years.
“This is the birthplace of Whitney,” said Davids. “Her home and her essence and the place and experiences that made her the incredible person and artist that she was. I know Americans hold her memory dear, and I’m first and foremost a Whitney fan myself, so I cannot wait to be surrounded by others who treasure her just as much as I do. Every audience, every fan that I perform to is special, but I know that this tour will be particularly special.”
A five-piece band, backing vocalist and choreographed dancers will accompany Davids on stage as she pays tribute to Houston with live performances of “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” “How Will I Know,” “I Have Nothing,” “Didn’t We Almost Have it All,” “One Moment in Time,” “Queen of the Night” and 15 other chart-topping hits.
