LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) – BASE Hologram in partnership with the Estate of Whitney E. Houston, has today (Sept. 17) revealed the first look at a rendering of Houston’s posthumous likeness as well as a host of dates for the upcoming hologram production An Evening With Whitney: The Whitney Houston Hologram Tour.
Slated to kick off in Mexico January 23, the first leg of the tour will make stops in England, Scotland, Ireland, The Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and more, before wrapping up on April 3 at the Palace of the Republic in Minsk, Belarus.
The tour, which will feature a live band, back-up singers and dancers set to digitally remastered arrangements of Houston’s classic songs, is expected to hit North American in the fall of 2020. Production will be helmed by acclaimed choreographer Fatima Robinson, known for her work with the likes of Rihanna, Kanye West and Mary J. Blige.
Commenting on the forthcoming tour, BASE Hologram and BASE Entertainment CEO and chairman Brian Becker said in a statement: “Whitney Houston was a talent beyond words, and her influence and artistry transcended all boundaries. 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.”
Whitney’s former manager and president and CEO of The Estate of Whitney E. Houston, Pat Houston, added: “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. 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.”
This show joins BASE Hologram’s currently touring properties Roy Orbison & Buddy Holly: The Rock ‘N’ Roll Dream Tour and Maria Callas’ Callas in Concert.
