DIRECT from a sold-out run in London’s West End, critically acclaimed stage sensation Whitney - Queen of the Night is heading to St Helens next month as part of its huge UK tour.

The celebration of the music and life of one of the greatest singers of our time will be coming to the Theatre Royal on Wednesday, February 26.

Whitney – Queen Of The Night stars Elesha Paul Moses (What’s Love Got To Do With It?, The Voice, The X Factor), and features a live band and backing singers.

The concert production has toured across the UK, and to Europe and Brazil, during the past four years.

Fans will be blown away by three decades of nostalgic hits, including I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Higher Love, One Moment in Time, I’m Every Woman, How Will I Know, The Greatest Love Of All, I Will Always Love You and many more.

Speaking about playing Whitney, 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.

“Her songs have never gone away. People still know the hits, I Wanna Dance With Somebody or I Will Always Love You. You do those songs and they’re all over it, it’s not fading away.

“It’s such a shame that Whitney’s life ended too soon. I sometimes wonder what it’d be like if Whitney had come through her problems, if she was still alive and I was able to see her live.”
