This September, Rockwell launches its Proscenium Theater with an unforgettable first act: The Bodyguard: The Musical, brought to life by 9 Works Theatrical. Marking the venue’s grand opening, this debut production signals Rockwell’s foray into immersive theatrical experiences at the heart of Metro Manila.

A stage adaptation of the beloved 1992 film starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, The Bodyguard: The Musical weaves together romance, suspense, and timeless music. Audiences will follow the gripping tale of global superstar Rachel Marron and the ex-Secret Service agent assigned to protect her. As the looming threat grows, so does a love neither expected—played out to a soundtrack that has resonated with generations.

The musical features some of the most iconic hits from the original film, including “I Will Always Love You,” “I Have Nothing,” and “Run to You.” Now reimagined with a mix of powerhouse local and international performers, the production brings fresh energy to a story that has captivated audiences worldwide.

Having captivated London’s West End and performed in more than 15 countries, The Bodyguard The Musical now takes center stage in Manila. With a perfect balance of elegance and intensity, the show finds its home at the Proscenium Theater—Rockwell’s newest cultural landmark.

Set against the backdrop of The Proscenium Theater’s state-of-the-art stage, this production promises a viewing experience that’s as dynamic as the story itself. With a 16×16 meter stage, fully automated fly lines, and an orchestra pit, the theater is engineered to deliver spectacle. Even the farthest seats in the Dress Circle, just 20 meters from the stage, offer a clear, immersive view that makes every spot in the house feel like the best seat.

Beyond the velvet curtains and applause, the experience continues. Proscenium Retail Row offers a curated selection of dining destinations just steps from the theater doors, perfect for pre-show conversations or post-performance celebrations. And nearby, Power Plant Mall invites you to complete your evening with style.

This is not just a musical—it’s the beginning of something bigger. A thrilling debut. A new tradition. A stage where Rockwell redefines the city’s night out.
