The award-winning international smash hit musical, The Bodyguard, will come to Mayflower Theatre from Monday 30 October to Saturday 4 November 2023.
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, but what they don’t expect is to fall in love.
A romantic thriller, The Bodyguard features a 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, I Wanna Dance with Somebody and one of the biggest hit songs of all time – I Will Always Love You.
Based on Lawrence Kasdan’s 1992 Oscar nominated Warner Bros. movie starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, The Bodyguard is directed by Thea Sharrock with book by Oscar winning Alex Dinelaris.
It 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.
