SYNOPSIS:
The Bodyguard tells the story of Rachel Marron, a famous pop superstar who becomes the target of a stalker. In need of protection, she hires Frank Farmer, a former Secret Service agent with a steadfast commitment to his duty. As Rachel and Frank’s professional relationship develops, a deep and unexpected connection blossoms between them. The Bodyguard explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the lengths one is willing to go to protect those they care about.


CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:
Rachel Marron (Lead) Female, 18-45 – Soprano
An Academy Award-nominated music superstar who is being stalked and sent death threats. She needs to sing in the style of Whitney Houston and move well.

Frank Farmer (Lead) Male, 21-45
A former C.I.A agent, physically fit, lithe and athletic; sharp witted and instinctive; handsome and charismatic. He radiates a silent strength, an American alpha male type. Frank sings one song in a karaoke style. He need not be a major singer, just have confidence to sing in front of a theatre audience.

Nicki Marron (Supporting) Female, 21-45 – Mezzo-Soprano
Rachel’s older sister, a very talented singer who has taken a back seat to her sister’s rising star. Quiet type but attractive. Must be a very strong singer.

Rachel’s publicist. He is deeply ambitious and doesn’t; suffer fools or indeed anyone who isn’t doing exactly what he wants. His belief is that the whole Oscar nomination for Rachel is because of his hard work and his alone. He believes he is her driving force.
