The Bodyguard opens in Norwich on 22 June

The Bodyguard begins its Norwich run at Norwich Theatre Royal on Monday 22 June, with the Visit Norwich Events listing giving a 7.30am start time and a final listed end time of 10.00pm on Saturday 27 June. The venue is Norwich Theatre Royal, Theatre Road, Norwich, NR21RL, and the price is listed as Free.

For local theatregoers, this is a week-long stop for the award-winning musical as part of its UK and International Tour in 2026. The show is built around the story of former Secret Service agent Frank Farmer, who is hired to protect superstar Rachel Marron from an unknown stalker before the pair find themselves pulled into a romance neither expected.

The run places The Bodyguard in the city for six days, giving Norwich audiences a short window to see the production at Theatre Royal. The source listing does not provide separate performance times for each date, so readers should treat the published start and end details as the confirmed event window rather than a full daily schedule.

The source also notes that cast and performance schedules are subject to change without notice. Anyone planning around a particular date should contact Norwich Theatre before travelling or making arrangements.

Whitney Houston classics frame the thriller

The production combines a romantic thriller plot with a soundtrack of well-known songs. The listed numbers include Queen of the Night, So Emotional, One Moment in Time, Saving All My Love, Run to You, I Have Nothing, Greatest Love Of All, Million Dollar Bill, I Wanna Dance With Somebody and I Will Always Love You.

That song list gives the Norwich run a clear appeal for musical theatre audiences who want a recognisable score, as well as fans of the film and of the songs associated with Whitney Houston. The source describes the show as an award-winning smash-hit musical and says it is returning for a UK and International Tour throughout 2026.

The plot centres on control and trust: Frank Farmer arrives as the professional protector, Rachel Marron as the star used to command, and the unknown stalker threat drives the tension behind the music.

What Norwich audiences can confirm before attending

The Visit Norwich Events listing names Norwich Theatre as the contact point for the event. It gives the telephone number as 01603603000 and the email address as the published contact details.
