The Bodyguard is returning to Liverpool Empire from Monday 20 to Saturday 25 March 2023

We all know the story of former Secret Service agent turned bodyguard, Frank Farmer, who is hired to protect superstar Rachel Marron from an unknown stalker and we all know the songs Queen of the Night, Run to You, I Have Nothing, and of course one of the biggest hits of all time – I Will Always Love You.

You can re-live the magic once again next year in Liverpool as hit musical The Bodyguard returns with casting due to be announced soon. Former stars of the musical include Beverley Knight and Alexandra Burke.

Based on Lawrence Kasdan’s 1992 Oscar nominated Warner Bros. movie starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, The Bodyguard, directed by Thea Sharrock with book by Oscar winning Alex Dinelaris, 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.

To date, The Bodyguard has played to over 3.6 million people in 15 countries and 45 US cities. Countries include the Netherlands, Germany, South Korea, Canada, Italy, Australia, Spain, France, the US, Austria and Japan.
