The Bodyguard is set to bring its mix of suspense, romance and powerhouse vocals to His Majesty’s Theatre from Tuesday 14 to Saturday 18 October. Based on the 1992 film starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, the musical has become a hit in its own right, thanks to a showstopping score and dramatic storyline.

This latest production arrives in Aberdeen as part of a UK tour and features a cast with serious star power. International performer Sidonie Smith takes on the role of Rachel Marron, a part she previously played to acclaim in Stuttgart. Olivier Award nominee Adam Garcia stars as Frank Farmer, the former Secret Service agent assigned to protect her from an unknown stalker.
