Solaire Resort Entertainment City presents an unforgettable night with legendary hitmaker David Foster as part of its 10th anniversary celebration. “David Foster and Friends, Live at The Theatre at Solaire” is the first of its kind — an eight-show residency happening on March 21 to 26.
Foster’s career has spanned over 4 decades which has garnered him the title of “The Hitman,” having written and produced many chart-topping songs that have propelled several artists to star status and have gone down the music industry’s history as legends, such as Whitney Houston, Madonna, Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand, and Michael Bublé.
He has created culture-defining soundtracks for blockbuster films including Joel Schumacher’s coming-of-age motion picture “St. Elmo’s Fire,” James Bridges’ 1980 flick “Urban Cowboy,” and Mick Jackson’s “The Bodyguard” starring Whitney Houston for her acting debut. He’s also the genius behind timeless holiday tunes that have become the anthem of the season like Josh Groban’s “Noel,” Michael Bublé’s “Christmas,” Celine Dion’s “These Are Special Times,” Rod Stewart’s “Merry Christmas Baby,” and Andrea Bocelli’s “My Christmas.”
His record-breaking work in the industry awarded him 16 Grammy Awards, an Emmy, and Golden Globe award, three Oscar nominations, and the famous star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame to state a few. He ventured into television as a judge for “Asia’s Got Talent” for three seasons and for the first season of Chinese station Hunan TV’s “World’s Got Talent.”
Together with David, the audience will also hear Katharine McPhee who became a household name after her successful run on the 5th season of “American Idol.” Her first single, “Somewhere Over the Rainbow/My Destiny,” debuted at #2 on Billboard’s Hot Singles Sales chart, while her 2007 self-titled album debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 propelled by the gold-certified single, “Over It.” As an actress, she starred in the spy drama “Scorpion” (2014-2018) as Paige Dineen, and as one of the leads in the award-winning musical series “Smash” (2012-2013), executive produced by Steven Spielberg. Her latest starring role is in the Netflix comedy series, “Country Comfort” (2021). In 2018, Katharine made her Broadway debut as Jenna in the hit musical “Waitress,” featuring music and lyrics by Sara Bareilles.
Another artist joining Foster is Pia Toscano who was one of the frontrunners on “American Idol’s” Season 10 run for her powerhouse voice and head-turning looks. Toscano performed alongside Jennifer Lopez in her Vegas Residency, “All I Have,” and regularly tours with David Foster and Andrea Bocelli.
Also joining McPhee and Toscano is Daniel Emmet who appeared on “America’s Got Talent” with his spellbinding and commanding operatic voice. His wide range of expression spans musical genres from rock to pop, to opera, all the while singing in seven languages. Emmet released his acclaimed single “True Reflection” which debuted at #1 on the iTunes Classical Chart.
“David Foster and Friends, Live at The Theatre at Solaire” will also feature “Concert King” Martin Nievera and “Asia’s Phoenix” Morissette. Martin will join the hitmaker on stage every show, while Morissette enchants with her voice from March 21 to 22 and March 24 to 26 at the 8 p.m. shows.
