Whitney – Queen of the Night’s Adelphi Theatre date rescheduled

The West End return for hit show Whitney – Queen of the Night at the Adelphi Theatre has been delayed until 7 February 2021.

Starring Elesha Paul-Moses (What’s Love Got To Do With It) and featuring a live band and backing singers, the concert-style celebration of the music of Whitney Houston was due to play the home of original West End production of The Bodyguard on 26 April.

Announcing the date change, a spokesman said: “As everyone is aware, due to Government advice theatres and venues across the UK have had to take the decision to close. This inevitably affects our shows and therefore Whitney – Queen of the Night has had to be rescheduled. We apologise for any inconvenience this causes and we hope you can join us on the rescheduled date.”

Box office staff at the Adelphi Theatre are contacting ticket holders with details of the new date.

Presented by Cuffe and Taylor and Nett.UK in association with Paul Roberts Productions, Whitney – Queen of the Night has toured extensively across the UK, Europe and Brazil for the past four years. The concert production made its West End debut last year with a series of sold-out performances at the Savoy Theatre.

Commenting on the Adelphi show earlier this year, leading lady Paul-Moses said: “Whitney Houston is one of the greatest singers of all time, and for me to lead this cast, singing these songs as part of this phenomenal show is a dream come true. We are all thrilled to be bringing the show back to the West End and cannot wait to perform at the magnificent Adelphi Theatre.”

Ben Hatton, director of theatre touring at Cuffe and Taylor, added: “We are delighted to be bringing Whitney – Queen of the Night back to the West End and to the Adelphi Theatre.

“The show received rave reviews on its West End debut, from both critics and the audience alike, and people just love to hear those amazing vocals being recreated live on stage. Audiences across the country love this stunning show, so if you ‘Wanna Dance With Somebody’, we can’t wait to see you there.”
