Following an incredible season 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.
January will delight Céline fans with an incredible live production having teamed up with musical director Andy Mudd and the creative team of Viva Blackpool. When it comes to performing the incredible music and back catalogue of Céline Dion, she is undoubtedly the No.1, 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 the vocals, mannerisms and interactions. When it comes to sitting back and enjoying the live 'Céline' experience, January is only second to the real thing.
