"The Bodyguard"

Marilyn and I thoroughly enjoyed taking in "The Bodyguard" , part of this season's Broadway - Pittsburgh season, at the Benedum Center last night.

Based on the 1992 Whitney Houston - Kevin Costner movie, this production starred Deborah Cox and Judson Mills in the lead roles.  Miss Cox was spectacular in the starring role.    Lots of great songs and wonderful dance numbers, and a "gift" performance by Cox and the entire cast after the traditional curtain call that was worth the price of the ticket.

If you live in the Pittsburgh area and have no plans for the weekend, you might want to get yourself a ticket to see "The Bodyguard".  It will be well worth it.  

Three solid stars from The Grandstander.

On a sad note, listening to this music and seeing dynamic performers like both Deborah Cox and Jasmin Richardson, who plays her sister in this show, makes you feel so bad about the untimely and sad death of Whitney Houston at age 48 in 2012, a victim of success, excess, and too many bad life decisions.  What a waste.
