The international, award-winning smash-hit musical based on the blockbuster film, The Bodyguard is back! Following her triumphant West End run and sell-out UK Tour, Alexandra Burke* returns to the role of Rachel Marron in Glasgow this December. Read more …
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.
*Alexandra Burke will perform the role of ‘Rachel Marron’ at all evening performances only. Alexandra Burke is not scheduled to perform Thurs 20th, Weds 26th and Thurs 27th December 7.30pm.
Overall, this is a visually striking boom box of a show which stirs the senses, if not always the emotions.
This tour of The Bodyguard is a complete spectacle with fantastic songs and a skilled cast. It's a guaranteed great night out that will almost certainly have the audience on their feet by the end!
As both a jukebox musical and a film brought to the stage, what makes this one special is that it takes both the original 1992 film The Bodyguard and the music of Whitney Houston live right before our ears, eyes and hearts. Is it a gig? Is it a musical? It’s both and it’s difficult not to sing along to this timeless, beautiful music.
It will make you laugh; it will make you cry but, at the end of the night, you feel thoroughly entertained.
Whether you’re a fan of the film or not, The Bodyguard is a musical theatre triumph that will have you singing Whitney Houston songs the whole way home.
