BODYGUARD The Musical Now Performing at Segerstrom Center! #scfta

What a night to remember! My childhood friend and I shared a lovely evening with music that evoked nostalgic memories of our youth. THE BODYGUARD The Musical is now performing in Orange County at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, and this incredible musical brought us back to our High School years with classic songs like, “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” and “One Moment In time.” This touring adaptation of the 1992 film has been transformed into a sensational musical! Deborah Cox as Rachel Marron is pitch-perfect and brings back timeless love songs back to life. “Run to You” and “I Will Always Love You” is celestial.
