FEATURING:

Nina Simone Neal as Whitney Houston

Known for her incredible range and emotional storytelling, Nina Simone Neal brings fierce passion and vocal brilliance to the role of Whitney Houston—one of the most awarded female artists of all time. From power ballads to up-tempo anthems, Nina’s performance will channel Whitney’s spirit with elegance and fire. Prepare to be moved by classics like “I Have Nothing,” “How Will I Know,” and “I Will Always Love You.”

Zania Alaké as Natalie Cole

R&B singer Zania Alaké is the perfect voice to honor the beloved Natalie Cole, whose velvet tone and emotional phrasing captivated millions. A Detroit native and The Voice alum, Zania seamlessly fuses soul and sophistication as she reinterprets hits like “Inseparable,” “Our Love,” and “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love).” Her performance will pay tribute to Natalie’s legacy of class, strength, and joy.

Mz Love as Dionne Warwick

The elegant and soulful Mz Love steps into the role of the legendary Dionne Warwick, whose timeless interpretations of Burt Bacharach classics remain unmatched. With a commanding presence and buttery vocals, Mz Love will guide the audience through unforgettable gems like “Walk On By,” “I Say a Little Prayer,” and “Anyone Who Had a Heart.” Her performance honors Dionne’s poetic delivery and enduring influence.

Opening the evening is the sultry and brilliant Lucretia Sain, whose poetic energy and jazz-rooted performance will set the stage with a powerful prelude.
