Milburn, New Jersey.

Deborah Cox, a multi-platinum R&B/pop recording artist, plays superstar Rachel Marron, the role made famous by Whitney Houston in the film. And television star Judson Mills plays Frank Farmer (Kevin Costner is the film), a former Secret Service agent turned bodyguard, who is hired to protect her from a deranged stalker. Directed by Thea Sharrock with choreography by Karen Bruce the romantic thriller plays out like an extravagant soap-opera boasting scores of irresistible classic songs including “So Emotional,” “One Moment in Time,” “Saving ALL My Love,” “Run to You,” “I Have Nothing,” “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” and Whitney Houston’s biggest selling hit of all time, “I Will Always Love You.”

The limited engagement of The Bodyguard opened on Sunday, December 1 and continues through January 1, 2017 at the Paper Mill Playhouse, 22 Brookside Drive Milburn, NJ, prior to kicking off a national tour, which opens at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis, MN on January 10.
