The Bodyguard

The Bodyguard at Pantages Theater Hollywood

Why see The Bodyguard?

The Breathtaking romatic thriller

In 1992, the Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston-led romantic blockbuster The Bodyguard not only broke box office records, but its soundtrack became the best-selling soundtrack of all time, simultaneously solidifying Houston's bona fide superstar status. Experience the songs she made entirely her own - 'One Moment In Time', 'Saving All My Love For You', and 'I Will Always Love You', amongst others, as this romantic musical heads to you on tour!

WHAT IS THE BODYGUARD ABOUT?

Following attempts on a young superstar's life by a sexually-obsessed stalker, former Secret Service agent turned bodyguard, Frank Farmer, is hired to protect his new charge. But as Farmer discovers to his chagrin, is that show business works differently from life in the White House; his employer,  Rachel Marron, is fiercely headstrong, stubborn, and refuses to cooperate.

A romantically charged tug-of-war ensues, as both characters attempt to assert their authority; however, the last thing that they expected to happen was to fall in love.

A MUST FOR WHITNEY FANS

The 1992 blockbuster movie propelled Whitney Houston to superstardom, along with romantic lead Kevin Costner, and is revered as one of the best romantic thrillers in cinema. The Bodyguard features a multitude of Whitney Houston's greatest hits, including 'Queen of the Night', 'So Emotional', 'One Moment in Time', 'Saving All My Love', and of course, the iconic 'I Will Always Love You'.

DID YOU KNOW?

The stage musical was already in development in 2012 when the news of Houston's untimely death broke. The ensuing press coverage almost caused the initial lead actress in the London-based show, Heather Hadley, to pull out amidst fears of comparison with the late Houston.
