The Bodyguard Musical Comes to Istanbul with Its Original Cast

Adapted from the 1992 cult film The Bodyguard and reaching millions of viewers worldwide since 2012, the musical is being staged in Istanbul for the first time with its original cast. Performances in English, supported by Turkish surtitles, are meeting audiences at Zorlu PSM.

Stage Adaptation of the Cult Film

Bringing together Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston, the 1992 production The Bodyguard ranked among the highest-grossing films of its era and gained immense popularity with its songs.

After reaching millions of spectators across 15 countries and numerous cities since 2012, the musical version adapted from the film is now appearing before art lovers in Istanbul for the first time.

Highlights of the Musical

While preserving the main storyline, the stage production is transformed virtually into a Whitney Houston concert, incorporating many of the artist's popular songs into the repertoire.

In a production centered on songs and magnificent dance choreographies, elements of tension remain in the background, bringing the spirit of the nineties adapted to the present day onto the stage.

Performance Schedule at Zorlu PSM

Staged with the original cast and offering Turkish surtitle support, the production is presented to art lovers at Zorlu PSM between September 18 and 20.

History of the Song and Dolly Parton

The production's iconic song, I Will Always Love You, was originally written and performed by Dolly Parton in 1973.

Interpreted by Whitney Houston for the film upon Kevin Costner's suggestion, the piece achieved massive global success and passed into music history.
