'The Bodyguard' tickets

"Tony-winning US actor Headley offers showstopping vocals with minimum fuss and Houston's ballads are all smartly contextualised.

This Grade II-listed building specialises in musicals and is jointly owned by Andrew Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group and Nederlander International. The theatre was founded in 1806 as the Sans Pareil by John Scott and his daughter Jane, a manager, performer and playwright. After her marriage and retirement in 1819, it was renamed the Adelphi and developed a reputation for presenting lurid melodramas, which became known as 'Adelphi screamers'.

To reach the Adelphi Theatre take the Bakerloo Line or the Nothern Line to Charing Cross Station. Turn east out of the station, turning right onto The Strand. The theatre will be 160m on your left.
