Clever, Absorbing, Delightful, Sweet, Entertaining

See it if You like Whitney songs, don’t mind a slightly cheesy performance at times, enjoy a good rom com storyline, love the use of projection

Don't see it if You don’t like Whitney songs, jump easily, don’t like projection used in theatre

Cheesy, Good songs, Intense, Great singing, Jump scares

See it if You find being jump scared thrilling! I don’t. Why would you? You love Whitney Houston too. The plot isn’t anything like the film.

Don't see it if You hate jump scares, flashing lights and loud noises.

Fluffy, Romantic, Great singing, Funny, Entertaining

See it if You love a jukebox musical! If you wanna see something light hearted and have fun at the theatre this is the show for you! Music is great!

Don't see it if You don’t like jukebox musicals. Or if you don’t like loud shows.

“If you love Whitney Houston, you won't be disappointed by the songs, as the show adds more of her hits than the film.”

“Fans of the movie, Whitney Houston or theatre in general will find plenty to enjoy in ‘The Bodyguard.’ Not quite perfect, but easily good enough to ensure I will always love this show.”

“ ‘The Bodyguard Musical’ provides a fun, enjoyable evening and excels in its choreography. Thornton and Emily-Mae’s vocals are outstanding, and Callaghan’s comedic timing is impeccable.”

"...this musical encompasses the very best of Whitney Houston's songbook, alongside a cleverly written storyline... Although there were some opening night glitches with some slightly laboured set changes, it didn't take away the audience’s enjoyment. Along with superb sound and perfectly-time lighting cues, this show is credit to the design and production team, as well as those who work behind the scenes.
