Some songs only need their opening notes.

 

I Wanna Dance with Somebody. One Moment in Time. I Have Nothing. I Will Always Love You.

 

This Saturday, Belinda Davids brings them back to the Mandela Theatre in The Greatest Love of All, a live tribute to Whitney Houston.

 

More Than a Playlist

 

Davids, who was born in Gqeberha, has performed the show internationally and appeared on stages including Britain’s Got Talent and Showtime at the Apollo.

 

There is also a nice connection to this weekend’s venue. The Greatest Love of All premiered at Joburg Theatre in 2013, before going on to tour internationally.

 

The roughly two-hour production features Davids alongside a live band and backing vocalists, with many of Houston’s best-known songs on the setlist.

 

The Bottom Line

 

If Whitney Houston’s songs still make you turn up the volume, this one doesn’t need much explaining.

 

A South African voice, a live band and two hours of songs most of us already know by heart.
