The Bodyguard is a romantic drama thriller based on the film by the same name.
Bodyguard Frank Farmer, a former Secret Service agent, is employed to guard superstar Rachel Marron from an unidentified stalker. Naturally, both Frank and Rachel anticipate being in charge. However, what they don't predict is falling in love.
The Bodyguard features an astounding number of Whitney Houston hits, including Greatest Love Of All, How Will I Know, I Have Nothing, I'm Your Baby Tonight, I Wanna Dance With Somebody, One Moment in Time, Queen of the Night, Million Dollar Bill, So Emotional, Saving All My Love, Run to You, and the iconic I Will Always Love You. No matter your favourite Whitney song, you're bound to find it in this production!
Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner starred in the 1992 film The Bodyguard. Writer and Producer Alexander Dinelaris later adapted the film into a musical, which opened in London's West End in December 2012, following previews at London's Adelphi Theatre in November that year. It ran until 2014 and was followed by a UK and Ireland tour from 2015-2016 and a subsequent transfer to the West End's Dominion Theatre.
In past productions, the role of Rachel Marron was played by Beverley Knight MBE and X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke among others. Ben Richards starred alongside Knight in the critically-acclaimed 2016 production as Frank Farmer.
The cast for 2023 is yet to be announced.
The Bodyguard UK tour runs from January through to July 2023. Tickets are in high demand, so you won't want to miss the chance to see this fantastic musical when it comes to the West End.
