Photo Feature: First look at the Australian cast of The Bodyguard

The cast of The Bodyguard musical got up close and personal with media this week when producer John Frost opened the rehearsal room doors for a sneak peek at the production.

The talented cast presented selected moments from the show (and removed selected items of clothing), giving us a glimpse of what’s in store when the production opens next month at Sydney’s Lyric Theatre.

Led by Australian pop icon Paulini, musical theatre and pop star Prinnie Stevens and actor Kip Gamblin, The Bodyguard is based on the hit film of the same name which starred Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner.

Check out our rehearsal room photo feature thanks to photographer David Hooley and stay tuned for our latest regular column – penned by The Bodyguard’s own super swing, Bree Langridge – coming to AussieTheatre this week!
