SMASH HIT MUSICAL IS HEADING FOR BRADFORD'S ALHAMBRA THEATRE

SMASH hit show The Bodyguard is returning to Bradford's Alhambra Theatre.

The musical, starring international leading lady Sidonie Smith as Rachel Marron and Olivier Award nominee Adam Garcia as Frank Farmer, is based on the 1992 Oscar nominated film starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner.

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.

The romantic thriller features classics including Queen of the Night, So Emotional, One Moment in Time, Saving All My Love, Run to You, I Have Nothing, I Wanna Dance with Somebody and mega hit I Will Always Love You.

Sidonie Smith has starred in The Bodyguard in Stuttgart, Germany, to critical acclaim. Her other theatre credits include the role of Anita in West Side Story, Sally Bowles in Cabaret, Deloris van Cartier in Sister Act and Velma Kelly in Chicago.
