The award-winning musical stars former Pussycat Doll Melody Thornton in the lead role of Rachel Marron and Ayden Callaghan (Emmerdale, Hollyoaks) as Frank Farmer.
The Bodyguard features classic songs Queen of the Night, So Emotional, One Moment in Time, Saving All My Love, Run to You, I Have Nothing, Greatest Love Of All, Million Dollar Bill, I Wanna Dance With Somebody – and one of the greatest hit songs of all time I Will Always Love You.
Former Secret Service agent turned bodyguard, Frank Farmer, is hired to protect superstar Rachel Marron from an unknown stalker. Each expects to be in charge; what they don’t expect is to fall in love.
Based on Lawrence Kasdan’s 1992 Oscar-nominated Warner Bros. movie starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, The Bodyguard, directed by Thea Sharrock with book by Oscar-winning Alex Dinelaris, had its world premiere at the Adelphi Theatre in London’s West End and was nominated for four Olivier Awards.
A sell-out 18-month UK and Ireland tour followed before the show returned to the West End at the Dominion Theatre ahead of a second sell-out tour of the UK and Ireland in 2018/19.
To date, The Bodyguard has played to over 3.6 million people in 15 countries and 45 US cities. It will be in our City on Monday 12 to Saturday 17 June.
