Review: THE BODYGUARD at Chateau Neuf

Bodyguard: The Musical is real crowd-pleaser! And the most pleasing aspects are Mimmi Tamba, Anna-Lisa Kumoji and the very talented ensemble. If you’re a fan of Whitney Houston's music or looking for a night of big performances and visual flair, 'The Bodyguard' is a solid choice, though purists of the musical genre might find themselves craving more from the storytelling.

Review: THE BODYGUARD: THE MUSICAL, New Wimbledon Theatre

The Grammy Award-winning soundtrack was the film’s vehicle and remains indisputably good. The stage musical sensibly chooses to pivot the focus to the music, but the result is more like a concert of the Houston’s hits, with a paper-thin and often laughable stalker story thrown in.
