The show is being produced by Whitney’s estate in collaboration with BASE Hologram and features Houston projected on a stage with real dancers and a live backing band. There is even stage patter between songs.

A body double along with hundreds of hours of Houston performances and extensive CGI synthesizing was used to create the performance, which features most of Whitney’s greatest hits.

An Evening with Whitney will take place at Sheffield City Hall tonight. Tickets are still available.
