Is The Bodyguard suitable for children and families?

The Dublin production carries an age guideline of 10 plus, with no under-3s allowed in the auditorium, and includes content warnings for strobe and flashing lights, haze, loud noises, gunshots, and threat from a stalker, so it is best suited to older children and adults rather than very young or easily frightened audiences.

Do I need to know the film to enjoy the musical?
