About The Bodyguard
Best-selling pop diva Rachel Marron (Whitney Houston) has a stalker whose obsession has risen to the level of disturbing threats. At the urging of her manager (Gary Kemp), Rachel hires former secret service agent Frank Farmer (Kevin Costner) as her bodyguard. Initially resented and treated with disdain for his hard-nosed security procedures, Farmer soon becomes an integral part of Rachel's inner circle. As they spend more time together, client and protector become closer still.

The Bodyguard cut short in Manchester due to rowdy singalongs
Singer Melody Thornton has apologised after rowdy audience members halted a performance of The Bodyguard musical.
The ex-Pussycat Dolls star was unable to complete The Show 's final song due to the disruption at Manchester's Palace Theatre on Friday.
Speaking on Instagram, Thornton said she " fought really hard" to finish The Show , but it had not been possible.
The Theatre said two audience members who refused to sit down and stop singing were removed by security staff.
The Theatre had previously asked people not to Sing Along to The Stage adaptation of the 1992 film, which stars Thornton and former Emmerdale and Hollyoaks actor Ayden Callaghan in the roles made famous by Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner .
A representative said staff were " disappointed that The Last 10 Minutes of The Show needed to be cancelled due to disruptive customers refusing to stay seated and spoiling The Performance for others".
They praised The Work of The Venue 's security for " dealing with these difficult circumstances in a professional and calm way" and thanked Greater Manchester Police (GMP) " for their assistance".
The Force confirmed officers had attended after Two People were removed by security staff.
'Disgusting behaviour'Audience member Karl Bradley told that some spectators in The Higher tier had started a countdown ahead of the finale, which features The Classic song I Will Always Love You .
He Said they " started to project themselves" by singing along and attempted to hit The Song 's high notes, but could not " and that's when The Chaos began".
He Said Thornton's microphone was cut, though The Star kept singing, but " eventually the lights cut off as the drama unfolded".
He added that there were " audible gasps" from other audience members and people were " all stood up, looking up".
