In life, Whitney Houston blazed quite the trail. And posthumously, the legendary diva will be doing the same.
Because, BASE Hologram and the icon’s Estate have teamed up to illuminate the legacy of Nippy in seismic fashion.
March brings with it the launch of ‘An Evening With Whitney’ – the hotly anticipated Whitney Houston hologram tour.
But before then, the masses are receiving a behind the scenes look at the production – which fuses unique technology with a Broadway flair.
Choreography is helmed by Fatima Robinson, whose credits include ‘Dreamgirls,’ Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, and Aaliyah.
Check out the sneak peek below…
Robinson, who worked with Houston on ‘I’m Every Woman,’ said:
“There is only one Whitney. No one will ever have that voice. Her music touched every generation. We’re going to take some movie magic and add it into our live performance. It’s going to be incredible.”
Pat Houston, Houston’s former Manager and President of The Estate of Whitney, 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. 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.”

So basically it’s just dancers dancing to her music ..oh ok
Ha ha. It actually is just that. No coins given to any of this foolery!
This is sick
Im so sorry nippy. Smfh actual TOUR dates!! Smh Rip
Ewe go to a live concert to interact live with the performer
To connect live with the performer
This is disgusting
I rather watch a drag queen impersonator of whitney than this.
Please don’t line Pat Houston’s pickets when she talked trash about Whitney and Krissi . Don’t support this tour
This is terrible, and I know that Whitney would not be alright with this. Is the estate hurting for finances, or is Pat out to line her pockets by any means necessary? Whatever shall be the case it is all bad.
I love Fatima! Idk about this tour lol but with her involved it’ll at least look good ??
That’s doesn’t look like Nippy’s profile in that black and white picture! Who in the hologram hell is THAT? ?
Doesn’t look like they even spelled her name right. The details don’t matter to them, only the dollar signs.
The truth ✅ ☕️
If you are referring to the last pic, that’s actually a copy of Whitney’s actual signature. I agree with you though about the money part. Smh.
“No one ever will have that voice.” said the choreographer.
Uh … Glennis Grace?
Americans. Always gasing up their celebs past their decline.
P.S. futile tour bcuz YouTube.
Glennis is good but she’s no Whitney Houston. GTFOH!
Agreed. Often imitated, never duplicated, Whitney Elizabeth Houston is one of a kind…despite what the pressed GG fans would like to think.
Wherr did you read that Glennis is Whitney? Fatima said there’ll NEVER be a voice like hers. Well, Glennis sounds A LOT like Nippy. So the impossibility is void.
@Pino. Try again. Just because GG sounds like WH doesn’t mean she has a voice LIKE Ms. Houston. She may have a little of the tone and timbre of Whitney’s voice, but get back at me when GG can duplicate the power, range, musicality, versatility, lyrical interpretation, clarity, and conviction of Ms. Houston. Then I might take you seriously.
B*tch please, glenda grass or whoever the hell she is will NEVER have Whitney’s voice, or anything even close. Sit down.
Glennis Grace? Absolutely not! She’s absolutely NOT in Whitney’s league when it comes to singing and stage presence. All she does is copy Whitney’s live performance Over the years. I rather see a hologram over this Glennis knock off.
Glennis Grace is not in Whitney’s league period. All she does is copy Whitney’s live vocal performances.
I really liked Fatima, even auditoned for her once, but she lost points with me for this. I have nothing but contempt for Pat. Shame on anyone who buys a ticket. The UK shouldn’t even be hosting the show since they booed Whitney off stage when she was still living; disrespected her in life and now in death.
The black and white photo is all wrong, any fan will tell in just three seconds of looking at that photo. I get it, its not whitney, but Whitney would have never lowered her head like that. she was a DIVA she was proud and had a strong presence, this photo is all wrong.
They KNEW not to bring that mess to the U.S.
Precisely. Let the gullible brits have this mess.
It’s coming to the US at the end of the year. They are imitating Whitney’s real Life tour schedule. She never really started her concerts in the US first.
Pat is just an old money grabbing p**. Poor Whitney must be rolling in her grave for this s**t. No one should support this p**’s money grab. She sure as hell aint getting my coins.
The hologram looks nothing like Whitney. Pat Houston must be running out of Whitney’s money. Shame on her.
If you want to see Whitney reincarnated search for Belinda David’s.
Smh that does not look like Whitney Houston.
Nobody will “never” even wear a dress or nothing else; and not to mention carry a tune/ musical note like Whitney Houston,and I know that a lot has tried. Nobody will never succeed. Whitney was just gifted by God with her talent, beauty, and her body. She was so humble and grateful with it all.
Damn the girl was tired , let her rest. She dead and y’all still got her working!!!
Why would i wanna see Whitney this way. Its not real to me. I love Whitney but this not the way I want to remember and honor her. Plus I’m not trying to put my money in Pat Houston pockets. I have her music and other video images of Whitney and that’s then enough for me.
Beautiful to see that you remember our dearest Whitney Houston.
But why are you not bringing the Hologram of Whitney Houston to South Africa??

Can we focus please, on the fact that the lady in the ”renderings” (because I’m pretty sure you can’t take THAT great of a photograph of a hologram, but I may be wrong,) JUST DOESN’T “meet the mark!” ZOOM IN ON HERFACE…CLOSE BUT NO ENCHILADA! Something seems ”off” about her nose and her top lip.
Speaking as someone who has HAD the BLESSING of EXPERIENCING THE VOICE live and in “REAL-TIME”, NOT once but TWICE, (”The Moment of Truth Tour/The Bodyguard Tour) I’d be lying if I said that the very thought of being able to recapture the ALMOST OVERWHELMING EMOTION One feels when you’re THAT CLOSE to The Anointing!
Why isn’t this in the United States? That Sucks
