About this Article

Heather Headley, who is gearing up to star in “The Bodyguard: A New Musical” in London next month, has one of those soaring voices that reverberates in a theater and smolders on a record. Then again, so do a lot of R&B singers. What has helped Headley distinguish herself in her recording career has been her material — well-crafted tunes with smart, mature lyrics that she made her own.
