About The Bodyguard

The Bodyguard is a romantic thriller that captures the hearts of audiences with music and intrigue. Based on the 1992 Oscar-nominated film of the same name, the musical tells the unlikely love story of bodyguard Frank Farmer and pop star Rachel Marron—sharpened by a mysterious stalker who threatens Rachel’s. Former Secret Service agent Frank Farmer is hired as the bodyguard to protect her.

The musical remains true to the original screenplay; tension builds as Rachel and Frank each expect to give the other orders, but neither expects to fall in love. Audiences will love the classic songs like “One Moment in Time,” “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” “So Emotional,” “Run to You,” and one of the most popular and best-selling songs ever, the powerful “I Will Always Love You.”

Written by Lawrence Kasdan and adapted for the stage by Oscar-winner Alexander Dinelaris, the musical has thrilled audiences since its 2012 London debut.  Featuring an irresistible score, this breathtaking story shows how the power of love can overcome every obstacle.
