Almost nine years ago, a spontaneous duet of Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You' in the Times Square subway station captured the imagination of over a million viewers worldwide on social media.

Now, playing hosts to one of music's most iconic stars, America's Got Talent 2010 finalist Alice Tan Ridley and the talented Ayanna Irish will team up once again, this time at New York City's Highline Ballroom for a Whitney Houston tribute show like no other, appropriately titled, I Will Always Love You, in memory of the pop icon who passed away 5 years ago this month.

The ever-soulful duet will perform renditions of Houston's top hits, including I Wanna Dance with Somebody, I Will Always Love You, I'm Every Woman, and much more, each with their own special twist and full band, as they celebrate the life and extraordinary music of one of pop music's most successful artists of all time.

Whitney Houston has been a central figure to the life of Alice Tan Ridley and her rise from busker to R&B and soul phenomenon, performing 'I have nothing' in the semi-final of America's Got Talent and of course her spontaneous subway duet of 'I Will Always Love You' with Ayanna Irish that went viral on social media.
