LOS ANGELES (AP) — Whitney Houston’s epic concert in South Africa staged after President Nelson Mandela’s landmark election will be hitting theater screens this fall. Collaborators say Houston’s 1994 performance has been turned into a fully-remastered theatrical release, called “The Concert for a New South Africa (Durban).” Collaborators include Houston’s estate, Sony Music Entertainment and Trafalgar Releasing. The limited theatrical screening will debut Oct. 23 and feature the late singer’s never-before-released show from Durban. The project will come ahead of a new live album “The Concert for a New South Africa (Durban),” which will be released Nov. 8.
