AMAZING!!!

Absolutely Amazing! We completely enjoyed this play and our evening at the Ed Mirvish Theatre!! Recommend this to everyone! A cast change was necessary part way through due to illness and this was down seamlessly. The actress that came on was outstanding. Kudos to all involved!

I saw this wonderful musical at the Pantages in Hollywood, California on 5.3.17. This show is fantastic, fun, energy-filled and a "must-see"! Deborah Cox's performance was remarkable and unbelievably fabulous!

BEST DATE NIGHT EVER

I had the pleasure of attending the Saturday night show with my husband, it exceeded our expectations. The show's revisions of the movie accompanied by the great acting and vocals were a delight. I highly recommend it!

THE BODYGUARD

FANTASTIC! The best musical ever written...better than Phantom!. The singer's were fabulous and the dancers unbelievably talented. Great performance by all!

Jennifer S from Toronto, Ontario

OUTSTANDING!

This show was an amazing trip through Whitney's wonderful music, delivered by a truly talented pair of actresses. It's not exactly the same plot as the movie, but it's done well enough and updated sufficiently to reflect the current time , that any plot modifications are easily absorbed. Music fans, not just Whitney Houston fans will be, at times, jubilant at the buoyant music, and at other times, reflective at the sheer talent, now lost to us with Whitney's passing. Overall, it's a great romp, a solemn reminder of the price of celebrity, and a beautiful tribute to the legacy of Whitney's music. One of the best parts of seeing this show for the first time is saying repeatedly to yourself, "oh yeah, I remember this song!", and occasionally, saying to yourself, "I forgot how very MANY truly great songs this woman sang." Prepare yourself for a fantastic and unforgettable 2 hours! Totally worth it.

WONDERFUL!

I can't even begin to explain how wonderful this play was. The tribute to Whitney was one of a kind. Excellent show. And Deborah? Wow. Some notes sounded as if Whitney herself were singing them. Perfect cast! Please go see this. You will NOT be disappointed! Wish I could give it more than 5 stars.

Eileen M. Wawrzynek from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

SPECTACULAR SHOW!

Wow!! The Bodyguard had it all! Deborah Cox has a voice that would not quit and emulated Whitney perfectly singing her songs. First rate all the way. The story had suspense, love, passion and above all, dancing, singing and an encore that would not quit! The stage presentation and electronics were great. Everything worked out perfectly. True professionalism. Kudos to all involved in the show.

Darryl from New York, New York

GREAT SETS PRODUCTION VALUE GREAT

Love Deborah Cox great costumes great sets. Was wondering how many songs she sings live during the show. Saw the show Sunday night great story line. Have tickets for another show in December but like live singing. The paper mill was a wonderful venue

THE BODYGUARD

The cast, music, and story was fantastic. We laughed and cried. Without a doubt the best experience I've had at a theater. I was not a Whitney or The Bodyguard movie fan but I am now. Very talented cast. Highly recommend

OUTSTANDING

The understudy for Deborah was outstanding

N Sacchetti from Schenectady, New York

EXCELLENT

I had no expectations and was blown away. There were times it was so powerful that tears streamed down my face. Every part of this production was masterful! BRAVO!’ This is a musical not to miss - way better than the movie!

JASMIN RICHARDSON

Drove the lovely Jasmin in my Uber and she was as charming as she is beautiful. What a great talent, but a greater person. Go see the Body Guard..Wow

Fred F from San Diego, California

STANDOUT PERFORMANCE BY NAOMI C. WALLEY

Just got out of the Tuesday performance (6/13/2017). The lead role usually performed by Deborah Cox was performed by Jasmin Richardson. Jasmine's usual role, Nicki Marron, was played by Naomi C. Walley. I enjoyed the performance (4 stars) but I have to give a shout out to Naomi C. Walley. Her performance was 5 Stars.

Paul Jackson from Atlanta, Georgia

MS COX LAYS IT OUT!

Saw Deborah Cox at the fabulous Fox Theatre---going back Sat night. She is sooooo good. The voice is incredible and she sings all night long! GO GO GO. (As the movie was--the story is thin..but who cares?) Centrally located so restaurants and parking are a piece of cake. I had fabulous orchestra seats but the party was in the balcony. I would definitely take my mother she would have loved it. Kids over 12 I think.

Shawn from Toronto, Ontario

GREAT MUSICAL

Played true to the story original story. Great vocal and songs. Enjoyed the entire show and would go again

Willie Joned from New Jersey

Patti Setzler from Chicago IL

THE BODYGUARD

I don't know about anyone else but I truly thought this was sensational. You cannot do a comparason but if you looked at this production as just a musical story it rocked. I totally loved it and wish I could see it again. Voices were pitch perfect. If it comes back to Chicago I definatly will go again!

Rose from Hartford, Connecticut

BODYGUARD DOESN'T DISAPPOINT

The stage performances and story line were corny but the special effects and especially the musical performances carried the show! Initially we were planning to leave at intermission but we actually stayed because the show was enjoyable. Loved the after curtain call number which involved the audience...I Wanna Dance With Somebody... sent us all into the night on a happy note and humming.

Janet Turner from Seattle, Washington

THUMBS UP TO THE BODYGUARD

Fantastic performance by Deborah Cox!! The whole cast was really good and I really enjoyed the scene changes so quickly which left us with a smooth transition from one scene to the next one. All I can say about this is if you are a Whitney fan....Go Go Go!! Deborah will not let you down!!!

Pearl Williams from Memphis, Tennessee

BODYGUARD REVIEW

The set was absolutely beautiful. Ms. Cox recording session segment was the best performance since it allowed her to sing in truth Deborah Cox fashion, without subduing the performance. The other songs, of which I enjoyed seemed to be minimized vocally as not to put too much emphasis on the songs themselves which I felt was a huge mistake since those were great songs that Ms. Cox can nail any day any time, but possibly was directed to tone down for some reason. Fletcher's rendition was absolutely awesome and Judson Mills nailed his character.

Bob Dunn from Seattle, Washington

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY MS COX BUT OTHERWISE HORRIBLE

Without any doubt Deborah Cox put on a wonderful performance in Seattle on Tues 11/14/17. Her voice was powerful and very moving especially the finale. But I have to say every other aspect (except the star's sister) was embarrassingly weak. The "acting" was uninspired, The story line turned into unconnected skits unworthy of a high school performance. And the male lead showed no talent whatsoever. If they wanted to do a tribute to Ms. Houston that would be one thing. But this was atrocious. The only saving grace was Ms. Cox's outstanding performance.

THE BODY GUARD

I must have seen an entirely different show in comparison to the other reviews. Please note, the headliner was not featured, Deborah Cox, unbeknownst to us! Apparently noted in a one liner at the bottom of a paragraph on the website which most individuals missed who were seated near me! I purchased orchestra seats and was extremely disappointed! The acting, props, scenes, setting, costumes were more than disappointing for a Broadway production. I do have to give credit to some very beautiful vocal performances. Otherwise, the show was a complete disappointment and the fact the headliner was not properly disclosed to the purchaser is extremely concerning!
