The Bodyguard is promoted as an international, award-winning smash-hit musical, and the original West End production received multiple Olivier Award nominations including Best New Musical, while the film soundtrack won Grammys, BRIT Awards, American Music Awards, and special Billboard honours for I Will Always Love You and the album’s long run at number one.
