In rehearsal: The Bodyguard

First Published 1 October 2012, Last Updated 20 August 2013

Twenty years after the release of the now classic Oscar nominated romance, the countdown is now on for the premiere of the musical adaptation featuring a soundtrack by the film’s legendary star, the late Whitney Houston.

With just over a month to go, Heather Headley and Lloyd Owen, who will lead the cast as the egotistical superstar Rachel Marron and Secret Service agent turned bodyguard Frank Farmer, are busy rehearsing for performances from 6 November, under the direction of self-confessed Houston fan and Olivier Award-winning director Thea Sharrock.

Photographer Paul Coltas snuck into rehearsals to take a look behind the scenes.
