Whitney Houston’s lasting legacy will be celebrated in a new show, which has 70 dates around the UK.

Whitney: Queen of the Night features Rebecca Freckleton, who has performed with Macy Gray, Paloma Faith and Jools Holland.

All Whitney’s biggest hits will be wheeled out including I Wanna Dance with Somebody, I’m Every Woman, Saving All My Love and the epic I Will Always Love You.

The show is being staged by Kent producer Paul Roberts, who said of Rebecca: “I spent arduous weeks searching the UK for a star in the making who would have the personality and the voice to be Whitney.

“After auditioning hundreds who aspired to the iconic role, I discovered Rebecca and knew instantly that she was the one who could truly portray Whitney.”

The show will be at the Central Theatre in Chatham High Street on Saturday, March 19.

The show will also be at the Orchard Theatre in Dartford on Thursday, May 5.
