If you’ve been waiting for a night out that blends high-octane theatrical suspense with a powerhouse soundtrack of generation-defining hits, mark your calendars. The international, award-winning hit The Bodyguard: The Musical is heading to the North Charleston Performing Arts Center for a limited engagement from November 17–22, 2026.

Based on the blockbuster 1992 Warner Bros. film starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, this thrilling stage adaptation combines gripping romantic drama with chart-topping music that will captivate audiences from the opening overture to the final curtain.

The Story: Danger Meets Romance

The plot follows former Secret Service agent-turned-bodyguard Frank Farmer, who is hired to protect superstar headliner Rachel Marron from an anonymous, menacing stalker. Both professionals expect to be entirely in control of their environment—what neither expects is to fall completely in love.

Hailed as a "breathtakingly romantic thriller" by The Times, the production balances nerve-wracking suspense with tender, complex character moments, making it much more than just a concert wrapper. It’s a full-scale theatrical experience charged with external danger and undeniable chemistry.

A Soundtrack of Unforgettable Classics

While the drama keeps you on the edge of your seat, the music is an absolute powerhouse. The stage production features an incredible lineup of smash hits drawn from the legendary movie soundtrack—which holds its place in history as one of the highest-selling albums of all time.

Audiences can look forward to showstopping renditions of:

  • "Queen of the Night"
  • "So Emotional"
  • "I Wanna Dance with Somebody"
  • "Saving All My Love for You"
  • "One Moment in Time"
  • And the timeless, soaring ballad, "I Will Always Love You"

As the Southern Daily Echo praises, "Exciting, thrilling, uplifting, moving – The Bodyguard is a truly exceptional show!"

When the national tour of Mrs. Doubtfire landed at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center, audiences were treated to high-energy comedic timing, quick changes, and unforgettable musical numbers. Central to the show’s heart and humor is 10-year-old Layla Jewel Parton, who lights up the stage as Natalie Hillard—the youngest sibling whose candid, unfiltered reactions deliver some of the biggest laughs of the night. Between packed show schedules, tutoring, and exploring the Lowcountry, Layla caught up with Charleston Live Music to share what it’s really like booking a major national tour, keeping a straight face on stage alongside co-star Hudson Vandervoort (Christopher), and spotting dolphins in Charleston harbor.

New Single: Michael Martin Band Serves Up Raw Bluegrass-Rock on “When Karma Comes Around”

Charleston’s own Michael Martin Band—a recurring Country / Americana Band of the Year winner—is back with a brand-new single that feels less like a polished studio production and more like a rowdy, front-porch picking party. The new track, “When Karma Comes Around,” is available now across all major streaming platforms, delivering a dusty mid-tempo groove anchored by Martin’s gravel-and-grits vocals and a driving double-banjo arrangement. The moment those banjos kick in, you’ll be smiling through the whole track—it is just that much fun. Hearing that unpolished, authentic grit instantly took me back to my teenage years spent sitting on a blanket at bluegrass festivals in Virginia, soaking in the music while real musicians jammed out in the open air. It doesn’t try to smooth over its edges, capturing the exact kind of raw, infectious energy that makes the Lowcountry sound so special.
