The musical version of the hit movie The Bodyguard returned to the West End stage last night for its new run with Beverley Knight reprising the role of Oscar-nominated superstar Rachel Marron, opposite Ben Richards as Frank Farmer, Marron’s bodyguard.
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. A 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, I’m Your Baby Tonight, Run to You, I Have Nothing, I Wanna Dance With Somebody and one of the greatest hit songs of all time – I Will Always Love You.
The stars came out to celebrate the return of the West End favourite, which we reviewed rather favourable when it was last in town over here.
Check out some images from the musical’s gala opening, which took place just last night, below.
The Bodyguard plays The Dominion Theatre in the West End until 7th January, 2017. Buy tickets here.
