About the Show
Following her sold-out debut in 2023, acclaimed Broadway actress and powerhouse vocalist Raena White continues to make waves on the music scene with her return to the legendary Joe’s Pub for a special evening celebrating the life and legacy of Whitney Houston. To be held on Houston’s birthday on Saturday, August 9, Dear Whitney is a moving tribute to the beloved icon.
Branching out from an impressive career on Broadway stages – most notably as an original cast member in the Grammy and Tony award-winning musical “Some Like it Hot” – Raena White is quickly making her name heard in the world of music.
For Dear Whitney, White blends Whitney Houston’s timeless classics with stunning new, intimate arrangements that shine a fresh light on the emotion, thrill, and transcendent power found throughout Houston’s legendary catalog. White brings her vocal prowess and emotional depth to the show, channeling the spirit at the root of Houston’s music while making it uniquely her own.
