Whitney Houston fans are in for a treat as the next best thing, BeLinda Davids, is coming to Warrington's Parr Hall on Thursday 27 October. Tickets and information at 01925 442345 or www.pyramidparrhall.com.

The Greatest Love of All - The Whitney Houston Show is a breathtaking production featuring the impeccable vocal talents of the South African singer described by many as "jaw-droppingly similar" to the beloved pop diva's.

The show is a beautifully-crafted tribute to one of the world's most revered singers, complete with a full band and dancers who bring to life more than two hours-worth of Whitney Houston's best-loved pop hits.

In addition to her pitch perfect sound, Davids openly acknowledges that Houston was her personal idol and the original inspiration for her own career when she began singing professionally at the age of 14.

She said: "I want people to come and remember Whitney when she was at the top of her game and when she was fabulous."

People all over the world have done exactly that with the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore and South Africa already hosting sell-out performances in the show's first two years of touring.

The Greatest Love of All features 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, I'm Every Woman, Didn't We Almost Have It All, Exhale (Shoop Shoop) and Million Dollar Bill to name a few.

Davids is directed by Showtime Management creative director John Van Grinsven Senior and joined on tour by the production team responsible for the worldwide hit tribute show Michael Jackson HIStory.

Pyramid & Parr Hall are two of the North West's leading arts and entertainment venues for music, comedy, dance, drama and much more. The venues have played host to big name acts including John Bishop, The Stone Roses, Billy Ocean, Jools Holland and Peter Kay to name a few.

Parr Hall is a listed building and has been a long standing feature of Warrington's cultural scene since its opening in 1895. It is a medium sized concert venue with 1000 seats. Pyramid opened in 2002, with support from Arts Council England and the National Lottery, as an arts centre focusing on smaller performances and community events. It offers a range of spaces to hire for events, weddings and conferences.

The venues are run by Culture Warrington which is a charitable trust that was established in May 2012 to also manage Warrington Museum & Art Gallery and cultural events across the town including Warrington Festival and Warrington Contemporary Arts Festival.
