Each expects to be in charge; what they don’t expect is to fall in love. A romantic thriller, The Bodyguard features a multitude of Whitney Houston’s hits including Queen of the Night, So Emotional, One Moment in Time, Saving All My Love, I’m Your Baby Tonight, Run to You, I Have Nothing, How Will I Know, I Wanna Dance With Somebody and I Will Always Love You.Presse : "It is performed...with such an infectious zest and wholehearted commitment that the evening is tremendously enjoyable."
Paul Taylor for The Independent
"Although the show is staged with enormous technical efficiency, it is one more example of the necrophiliac musical morbidly attracted to a cinematic corpse.."
Michael Billington for The Guardian
"Spectacularly and ingeniously designed by Tim Hatley, is far more enjoyable than the movie. And there is a thrilling star performance from the Trinidad-born, American-based singer and actress Heather Headley...But that is largely where the good news ends. Though Alexander Dinelaris has tweaked Lawrence Kasdan’s screenplay, the show remains trite and sentimental."
Charles Spencer for The Daily Telegraph
"Corny but entertaining."
Quentin Letts for The Daily Mail
"It’s spectacular, stylish and delivered with panache."
Ian Shuttleworth for The Financial Times

Charles Spencer for The Daily Telegraph
"Fine revival. " Michael Billington for The Guardian
"The production lacks real piquancy. Sharrock directs clinically, and there's not enough sense of urgency and ardour." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard
"It’s a gritty, gripping story...superb, suggestive production." Mark Shenton for The Stage

Charles Spencer for Daily Telegraph
"Darrow's claims to greatness as a battered but unbowed humanitarian find, in Spacey, the perfect advocate." Paul Taylor for The Independent
"... a mighty performance that brings out Darrow's bravura humanitarianism and it leaves one hoping that, even after Spacey hands over the Old Vic to Matthew Warchus next year, it will not be his farewell to the London stage." Michael Billington for The Guardian
"What an actor [Kevin Spacey]. He occupies the reconfigured Old Vic so completely that you wish they had left the house in its vast proscenium-arch format and allowed him to conquer that." Quentin Letts for The Daily Mail
"Informative rather than absorbing, it runs through Darrow’s most celebrated cases and is a none too complex piece of hero worship." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard

When CBS call for the vaudevillian greats to be re-united for a nostalgic History of Comedy, past grudges resurface as they take centre stage once more. Ageing ailments aside, can this legendary double-act overcome their differences for one last show?Presse : "What makes the play profoundly touching as well as funny is Simon's understanding of the obduracy, childishness and professional neglect that are often inseparable from old age...a richly resonant comedy " Michael Billington for The Guardian
"Limp revival...Though there are many real-life examples of "little and large" comedy pairings, these two actors – each excellent in their different ways – never convince you that Simon's fictional duo had spent more than 40 years as a headlining vaudeville double act...A disappointment " Paul Taylor for The Independent
"Thea Sharrock’s production is funny and affectionate, but needs more snap. " Henry Hitchins for The Evening Standard
"This deliciously quirky couple strike great showers of comic sparks off each other...a pitch-perfect production that beautifully captures fleeting moments of tenderness in the comedy without ever turning mushy...This is a golden evening that finds the West End at the top of its game. " Charles Spencer for The Daily Telegraph
