Must Go’s: Celebrating Women Empowerment Through The Life And Music Of Whitney Houston
March is the month we celebrate International Women’s Day, and as such, is about honouring women, and especially those who struggle with tremendous obstacles, rise above them and continue persevering. In-line with such an important event, Milestone Production Sdn Bhd is presenting “REMEMBERING WHITNEY – THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL”, a 90-minute live music concert direct from glitzy Las Vegas, on the 22nd and 23rd of March 2019 at Istana Budaya, Kuala Lumpur in celebration of the life and top selling hits of the late Whitney Houston.
The show is in tribute to Whitney Houston, one of the most awarded female artists of all time by Guinness World Records. Although she battled many hardships, she made an impact in the world today because she believed in herself, reflecting the lyrics in her song “Greatest Love of All” – “I decided long ago never to walk in anyone’s shadow; if I fail, or if I succeed at least I did as I believe”.
In a show of support for International Women’s Day, Milestone Production invites show goers to join in the celebration of honouring women, by “sponsoring a survivor” to catch the show. Every “sponsor a survivor” ticket purchased will go to a female survivor (single mothers and cancer survivors for example) and comes with a light dinner. According to Grace Lee, Managing Director of Milestone Production Sdn Bhd, “For the past 17 years, Milestone Production has always looked for different ways to give back to the community through performing arts. This year, we are proud to be celebrating International Women’s Day and Cancer Awareness by inviting all of our show goers to celebrate the love and sacrifices made by women!”
Trina Johnson Finn, the star of “REMEMBERING WHITNEY – THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL” is known as one of the few women who can step into Whitney’s “larger-than-life” role, will enthrall Malaysians with breathtaking renditions of Whitney’s memorable classics, including “Greatest Love of All”, “I’m Every Woman”, “Queen of the Night”, “How Will I Know”, “I Will Always Love You”, “I Have Nothing”, “I Wanna Dance With Somebody”, to name a few. She wants Malaysians to join her by celebrating the beauty of strong and amazing women. “I want to share my gift of Voice to uplift and empower all women around the world and let you know that you are special and forever the “Queen of the Night,” adds Trina.
She continues, “The fans of Malaysia can expect to hear all the wonderful hits made famous by Whitney Houston and I will talk about how she inspired me and why I love her so. I will give the audience a piece of my soul as I perform and pay homage to an amazing vocalist. Growing up similar to Whitney in the church, I want to give a soulful and powerful performance that the audience will never forget. As Whitney would say; I’m Every Woman – it’s all in me.”
