The Story of The Bodyguard the Musical
The Bodyguard the Musical is based on the 1992 movie of the same name. It tells the story of Rachel Marron, a popular actress and singer who hires a former U.S. Secret Service agent as her bodyguard to protect her from a stalker. Rachel and Frank initially clash with each other, but later on get close to each other.
The film’s music gained popularity thanks to Whitney Houston’s renditions. Some of the songs include “I Have Nothing,” “Run to You,” and “I Will Always Love You.”
Tickets to the musical are now available via premier.ticketworld.com.ph. The musical is directed by Robbie Guevarra.
