It would've been accurate if this "Play" was advertised as 'Deborah Cox's Rendition of "The Bodyguard"'s songs. She did a GREAT job doing that. However, it was advertised as an "Adaptation of the 1992 movie; The Bodyguard" and there, it felt short, seriously short!
I admit, that partially, we may fell in love with chemistry and THE LOVE that was radiant between Kevin Kostner and Whitney Houston and THAT, may not be easily duplicated.
Both Deborah Cox and Jasmin Richardson (who plays as her sister) have FABULOUS voices but the rest of the "PLAY" is just a poor adaptation of the movie. As a concert, it was good!!!
The Closing Number, "I want to Dance With Somebody", was very energetic and suggested audience participation. They had EVERYONE up on their feet, clapping, singing and dancing as the entire cast performed on stage.
Overall, a good night. It is ALWAYS good to be at a theater and breath in THAT AIR even if what is happening on stage falls short of your expectations.
