Grade 7
A Welcome From Our President and Chairman of the Board
Welcome to Mayo Performing Arts Center! It is our privilege to provide you, your family and friends with a joyful and memorable experience.
For 29 years, MPAC has been at the heart of arts and entertainment in the North Jersey region, providing world-class performances, engaging arts education opportunities, thought-provoking visual art, and free community events to over 200,000 adults and children every year.
MPAC is where our community comes together to share in arts experiences that entertain, uplift and inspire. Our dedicated team of professionals and volunteers is committed to making your MPAC experience exceptional, from the moment you purchase a ticket to when you exit our venue having just enjoyed an outstanding performance. We always strive to deliver moments of awe to make your MPAC experience stand out.
That MPAC experience extends beyond the performances you see on our stage. It is the excitement of children who participate in our Performing Arts School, the wonder of students who come here for field trips, the happiness of those young and old of diverse backgrounds who participate in creating arts around town and much more.
We could not offer these extensive and vital programs and services without the support of our dedicated community of patrons, donors and funders. We hope that you will help us continue the “MPAC Miracle” that started in 1994 by supporting our organization, and extending the joy you feel here to others as well.
Something special is about to happen on our stage. Enjoy the performance!

The Greatest Love of All: A Tribute to Whitney Houston
Whitney Houston’s musical legacy is brought to life in this critically acclaimed tribute show described as “mindblowingly spot on.”
Be stunned by the breathtaking vocals of Belinda Davids – a RiSA chart-topping artist in her home country of South Africa - who has performed alongside the likes of Keri Hilson, Keyshia Cole and Monica and featured on Fox TV’s Showtime at the Apollo and BBC1 TV’s Even Better Than the Real Thing
With the accompaniment of a live band, backing vocalists and choreographed dancers, plus state-of-the-art sound, lighting, vision and theatrical effects, this is a beautifully crafted tribute to one of the world’s most revered singers.
Biography
Belinda Davids
Born 1976, Belinda Davids started life in the small coastal town of Port Elizabeth in South Africa, where her musical family of seven children spent much of its time in church, singing and surrounded by gospel music. Enduring youth as a ‘coloured’ girl in a difficult, apartheid-ridden South Africa, Belinda found solace and empowerment in music - it was an equalizer, of sorts, for someone so devoid of equality in her life and surroundings, an expression and a pastime that needed no resources, no special education, no permissions, just her own God-given voice.
Her talent was glaringly apparent from an early age. Still to this day she has never had vocal training and is blessed with a 4-octave vocal range, putting her in the company of such vocal luminaries as Minnie Riperton, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera and Freddie Mercury. She began performing professionally
The two-hour production will fill you with joy, nostalgia and wonderment as it takes you on a heartfelt journey through Houston’s greatest hits including ‘I Will Always Love You’, ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’, ‘How Will I Know’, ‘One Moment in Time’, ‘I Have Nothing’, ‘Run to You’, ‘Didn’t We Almost Have It All’, ‘Greatest Love of All’, ‘I’m Every Woman’, ‘Queen of the Night’, ‘Exhale (Shoop Shoop)’, ‘Million Dollar Bill’ and more.
The Greatest Love of All starring Belinda Davids has already wowed audiences across the UK, Europe, Middle East, Asia, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, and continues to gather glowing reviews worldwide.
at just 14 years of age and became technically adept at many genres but her true love has always been R&B; her childhood inspirations included Aretha Franklin, Anita Baker, Chaka Khan, Donny Hathaway, Michael Jackson and of course the one artist who has had the biggest impact on her life - Whitney Houston.
Belinda’s introduction to her soonto-be idol was the track ‘Hold Me’ which Houston recorded with Teddy Pendergrass, and which became one of the first LPs Belinda ever owned. She was innately drawn to Houston’s musical style which resonated with the same modest familial values and gospel influences that pervaded her own upbringing.
Belinda sang Whitney’s music at every chance: at family gatherings, talent competitions and to friends whilst
playing on the street. Like many young girls at that time her bedroom walls were plastered with posters and magazine cut-outs of the icon. Whitney’s influence was so strong it inspired everything from Belinda’s dress sense to her hairstyles. She included Whitney songs in every set she performed. As a young adult she joined the club circuit and was constantly compared to her icon.
In the mid 90’s Belinda caught the eye of record executives at Tusk Records and they worked together on the eponymous original album Belinda Davids. Three of the songs on this album, which Belinda also wrote, were released as singles: ‘This I Swear’, ‘This Is My Life’ and ‘We Go Together’. The latter was number one on the RiSA charts in South Africa for six weeks.
Belinda promoted her album all over South Africa for a number of years at various hotels, clubs & cabarets. She was the opening act for many international artists when they visited South Africa including Michael Jackson’s History tour, The Manhattans, The Temptations and Peaches and Herbs.
Years after her debut album, Belinda decided to travel abroad to expand her music career, which took her to Dubai, London and Hong Kong to perform in major hotels and clubs. The influence of Whitney was still undeniable; during a performance at a hotel in Hong Kong the similarity was such that the audience stopped the concert and demanded she sing acapella to prove she wasn’t lipsyncing.
After many years on the road Belinda settled in Los Angeles in 2009 to focus on getting her solo career back on track. In L.A she collaborated with R&B singer and producer Sam Salter on a couple of solo tracks, but she was mostly in
demand as a backing vocalist and worked for some of the biggest names in Pop and R&B at the time, including Keyshia Cole, Monica, Johnny Gill, Kelly Price and Keri Hilson. Her incredible voice, versatility and model-good looks saw her become highly sought-after in this field; she made appearances on The Jay Leno Show and The George Lopez Show and mixed in celebrity circles.
But Belinda eventually chose to put her career on hold and return to her homeland in 2011 to be with family and concentrate on raising her two sons.
Shortly after however, in 2013, fate knocked. John Van Grinsven, creator and producer of Showtime Australia’s The Greatest Love of All, was on his final round of global auditions to find a star for the new production and Belinda managed to nab a last-minute audition. What had once been a hindrance for her was now a blessing - Belinda beat almost 15,000 other hopefuls to take the marquee role.
Touring began almost immediately and demand has grown exponentially ever since. The show has now performed across much of the globe including the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Germany, Russia, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Lithuania, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, UAE, Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia and South Africa.
In 2017 Belinda’s profile reached new heights when she won the BBC’s Even Better Than the Real Thing TV talent program, hosted by Paddy McGuinness, and later that year gave a rousing performance of ‘I Will Always Love You’ on Fox TV’s iconic, long-running talent show Showtime at the Apollo, hosted by Steve Harvey. Both performances continue to gather millions of views online.
The Greatest Love of All: A Tribute to Whitney Houston
In the UK in 2018, Belinda reached another milestone as a performer when she debuted a special orchestral concert series of The Greatest Love of All and sang accompanied by The National Philharmonic Concert Orchestra in some of the continent’s most iconic venues, including the Hammersmith Apollo. The COVID-19 pandemic which erupted in 2020 flat-lined most of Belinda’s touring schedule for the next two years, forcing the devastating postponement of major international tours and grounding her at home in South Africa where she was subject to some of the harshest lockdowns in the world. However, even under such circumstances, she still managed to hit another high – thanks to the support and determination of TV producers, Belinda travelled, under strict quarantine regulations, to the UK to
compete in Britain’s Got Talent, where she progressed to the semi-finals and performed in front of the show’s first ever virtual audience. Her performance of ‘I Have Nothing’ was described as “utterly spellbinding” by judge Amanda Holden, and “absolutely electric” by judge David Walliams.
Against all odds, Belinda managed to return to the stage in late 2021 to complete a full national tour of the UK, despite much of the world still battling with the pandemic and government restrictions.
Today, she is thrilled to be on track to finally complete many of her major tours that had been postponed, and is scheduled to visit the USA, South Africa, Europe, Ireland, the UK and Russia.
