Whitney Houston Hologram Tour Announces First Dates

THE VOICE meets THE BEST TECHNOLOGY to create a once in a lifetime experience in the announcement of a Whitney Houston Hologram Tour starting in 2020.

As Billboard reports, "in partnership with the Estate of Whitney E. Houston, BASE Hologram has revealed the first slate of dates for the upcoming hologram production An Evening With Whitney: The Whitney Houston Hologram Tour. The trek will kick off in Mexico between Jan. 23 and Feb. 9, followed by dates in U.K. and Europe, hitting England, Scotland, Ireland, The Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and more."

“Whitney Houston was a talent beyond words, and her influence and artistry transcended all boundaries,” said BASE Hologram and BASE Entertainment CEO and chairman Brian Becker. “What we are creating here is a new type of theatrical concert experience designed to capture that magic. When she performed there was an unmatched level of charisma and emotion to it - that’s what we are going to bring to audiences and it’s an honor to be able to help add to her legacy with this project.”

The show will include all of Whitney's iconic hits including “I Will Always Love You,” “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me),” “Greatest Love of All” and “Higher Love.”

The only artist to chart seven consecutive #1 Billboard Hot 100 hits, the first female artist to enter the Billboard 200 Albums chart at #1 and the only artist with eight consecutive multi-platinum albums, Whitney Houston redefined what it meant to be an iconic superstar. Certified by the Guinness World Records as “the most awarded female artist of all time” with over 400 awards including 6 GRAMMYS, 22 American Music Awards, 16 Billboard Music Awards, two Emmy nominations and one win, Houston also had success on the big screen with starring roles in The Bodyguard, Waiting To Exhale and The Preacher’s Wife.

“A hologram show is all about the imagination and creating a “wow factor” that extends to an incredible experience to enjoy for years to come,” said Pat Houston, Whitney’s former Manager and President and CEO of The Estate of Whitney E. Houston. “Whitney is not with us but her music will live with us forever. We know we made the right decision partnering with BASE because they understand how important it is to produce a phenomenal hologram. They also know that engaging her fans with an authentic Whitney experience would resonate worldwide because of the iconic status that she created over three decades. Her fans deserve nothing less because she gave nothing less than her best.”

I missed Whitney in 1999 when I purchased a ticket to see her live at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington DC and she had to cancel due to not feeling well. I won't miss her performance this time.
