A SHOW which celebrates the music of superstar Whitney Houston is coming to Colchester.

Whitney - Queen of the Night will be at the Mercury Theatre on Tuesday, November 12.

Tickets for the acclaimed show, which made its West End debut earlier this year, go on sale today.

It stars Elesha Paul Moses, of The Voice fame, in the title role.

The concert production has toured extensively across the UK and Europe for the past three years.

Fans will be blown away by three decades of nostalgic hits, including I Wanna Dance With Somebody, One Moment In Time, I’m Every Woman and I Will Always Love You.

Elesha said: “Whitney Houston is one of the greatest singers of all time, and for me to lead this cast, singing these songs as part of this phenomenal show is a dream come true.”

Ben Hatton, director of theatre touring for promoters Cuffe and Taylor, said: “We are delighted to be bringing Whitney – Queen Of The Night to Colchester, direct from its sell-out West End premiere.”

Before her death in 2012, Whitney had been hailed as the most awarded artist of all time, by Guinness World Records – with six Grammy Awards and 30 Billboard Music Awards among her 415 titles.
