The international, award-winning smash-hit musical The Bodyguard is back!

A ‘BRILLIANT!’ (The Times), breathtakingly romantic thriller, The Bodyguard features a whole host of irresistible classics including 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.

The Bodyguard stars international leading lady Sidonie Smith (Disney’s Tarzan, Cabaret) as Rachel Marron and Olivier Award-nominee Adam Garcia (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) as Frank Farmer, with Sasha Monique (Hairspray) as Nicki Marron, and Coronation Street and Hollyoaks star Matt Milburn as Sy Spector.
