Review: THE BODYGUARD at Alte Oper, Frankfurt And On Tour In The UK
by André Böke - Apr 5, 2026


The touring production of The Bodyguard arrives at a pivotal moment in its continental journey. After stops in Zurich, Munich and Berlin, interspersed with various UK engagements including London, the show now plays its final German date at the Alte Oper Frankfurt. From here, it will return to British venues through mid-year. There is, accordingly, a sense of culmination in the air: a production taking its last bow on German soil before retreating to its home circuit. And what a send-off it proves to be.
