Producers,
Michael Harrison and David Ian are delighted to announce that Alexandra Burke will play the role of
‘Rachel Marron’ in the award-winning smash hit musical The Bodyguard when it returns to the Sunderland Empire next year.
Following its sell out run in 2016, the musical will play 12-23 November
2019.
Alexandra
Burke returns to the role of ‘Rachel
Marron’ having played the role to critical and audience acclaim in both the
West End and the subsequent sell out 2015/2016 tour. She first rose to fame
after winning the fifth series of The
X Factor and her debut number one single Hallelujah sold over one million copies in the UK, a first
for a British female soloist.
She most recently appeared as ‘Svetlana’ in
“Chess” at the London Coliseum and can currently be seen as ‘Roxie’ in
“Chicago” at the West End’s Phoenix Theatre. Last year she reached the final of
“Strictly Come Dancing”. Her other theatre credits include ‘Deloris Van
Cartier’ in the national tour of the musical “Sister Act”.
Please Note: Alexandra
Burke will perform the role of ‘Rachel Marron’ at evening performances only. Patrons
should check before booking.
Based
on Lawrence Kasdan’s 1992 Oscar nominated Warner Bros. movie starring Whitney
Houston and Kevin Costner, The Bodyguard, directed by Thea Sharrock with book
by Oscar winning (Birdman) Alex
Dinelaris, had its world premiere at the Adelphi Theatre in London’s West End
in 2012 and was nominated for four Olivier Awards. A sell out 18-month UK and
Ireland tour followed, before the show returned to the West End at the Dominion
Theatre. The Bodyguard has also played in the Netherlands, Germany, South
Korea, Canada, Italy, Australia, Madrid, France, and on tour throughout the US
and can currently be seen in Stuttgart.
Former
Secret Service agent turned bodyguard, Frank Farmer, is hired to protect
superstar Rachel Marron from an unknown stalker. Each expects to be in charge;
what they don’t expect is to fall in love. A romantic thriller, The Bodyguard features a host of
irresistible classics including Queen of
the Night, So Emotional, One Moment in Time, Saving All My Love, Run to
You, I Have Nothing, I Wanna Dance with Somebody and one of
the biggest hit songs of all time – I
Will Always Love You.
