Two versions at the Adelphi were enough for me.  No way I would see a third version.


#245361 The Bodyguard

Posted Becky La Rou on 14 November 2012 - 12:22 PM

Oh good lord I saw The Bodyguard last night....

Firstly I have to say OH WOW to the caliber of audience member. I was sat in the Upper Circle so perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised by comments such as "ooh, do you fink they are gonna like show the film" or BEFORE THE SHOW STARTED "how am I supposed to see with that curtain in the way". Oh dear.

The show itself was a bit of a shocker... It missed out essential plot lines such as the fact that Nikki hires a hitman to kill Rachel? ALSO I do not know why they felt the need to use so many blooming projections on gauzes! It was such a cop out! Big chase scenes were projected on stage, rather than acted out. What is the point of making a film into a stage show if you are going to project film instead of action!

The song list was a bit strange too...'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' for the reprise seemed just more like an ode to Whitney rather than having any benefit to the musical what so ever.

If anyone does see the show, I recommend that you avoid the Upper Circle (although the view was fine, the constant stream of chatter and stupid comments whilst the show was taking place were not)
I anyone involved in the production of the show sees this message: PLEASE lord rethink the overuse of projections. It's just not necessary.

I just booked weekend trip to Denmark with front row tickets only to see their final performance. Couldn´t resist. I´ve been to Copenhagen and Det Ny theater couple months ago and their production of Singing in the Rain was BRILLIANT! I am sooo excited!!! Hopefully it won´t end as last time when I bought tickets to last show of LND with Ramin Karimloo and the whole thing got canceled:/

I thought Will Young was brilliant - much to my surprise to be honest.... Michelle Ryan was just bland and the ensemble looked like they really couldnt be bothered most of the time.. but it was worth seeing just for Will

I am there on Thursday, also front row - booked them so long ago I can't even remember how much I paid.  I have only heard good things about this show and having never seen the film I have nothing to compare it to which makes it even more exciting for me.
