Review
In May 2013, the hit musical,
The Bodyguard, was staged at London’s
Adelphi Theatre, the theme adapted from the 1992 film
The Bodyguard. It was a stage musical with
Heather Headley as the superstar singer Rachel Marron and
Lloyd Owen as Frank Farmer, an ex-Secret Service agent turned bodyguard. Tim Hatley was set and costume designer, along with director
Thea Sharrock, lighting designer Mark Henderson and video designer Duncan McLean and rest of the team. Hatley turned the stage show brilliantly to glide like the real movie. "I think it's always a tricky thing having a film going onto the stage", was what Hatley had to say about his work.
