Production photos have been released from North Shore Music Theatre's production of The Bodyguard, the musical adaptation of the 1992 film starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner that gave rise to Houston's now-iconic rendition of "I Will Always Love You." The musical, which includes a score built from additional Houston tunes such as "So Emotional" and "The Greatest Love of All," began performances October 29 for a run through November 10.
The Bodyguard stars Frank Farmer as a Secret Service agent turned bodyguard who is hired to protect a superstar singer (Cheaza Fugueroa) from a stalker. The musical originally premiered at the Adelphia Theatre in London's West End in 2012 and has since enjoyed numerous productions worldwide.
