CELEBRATING CELINE, THE ULTIMATE TRIBUTE TO CELINE DION

Wednesday, April 17th, 2024 @ 7:30PM

Presented by Forrest Jones Entertainment

Following an incredible run of sell-out theatre tours across the UK and Europe, multi-award-winning tribute artiste January Butler is now taking her very own brand new theatre production show out into the world- and looking to delight Celine fans with incredible live production. January has teamed up with international tour company Forrest Jones Entertainment – to take on Canada!

When it comes to performing the incredible music and back catalogue of Celine Dion, January is undoubtedly number one, having risen through the ranks of junior talent shows, to performing in sold-out venues of over 2000 seats. January has studied, developed and honed her craft replicating Celine Dion’s vocals, mannerisms and interactions. When it comes to sitting back and enjoying the live ‘Celine’ experience, January is only second to the real thing.

A Forrest Jones Entertainment Production.
