written by Ben elton
rod Stewart is quite simply one of the best selling recording
artists of all time in a career spanning five decades. Tonight’s The
night, the smash hit west end musical comedy insired by the songs of
rod, is the all-singing, all-dancing feel good show which went on to play
sold-out theatres across the uK. Tonight’s The night is back and now is
your chance to rediscover the magic of timeless classic songs, from
Maggie May to Baby Jane and Hot Legs to Sailing plus many more!
Set on the mean streets of Detroit and in the glamorous clubs of
uptown La, Tonight’s The night tells the story of a shy young man,
so tongue-tied that he cannot find the courage to declare his love to
the girl of his dreams. how different he is to his hero, that legendary
rock n’ roll vagabond rod Stewart - now there’s a guy who never had
any trouble hitting on a girl! One night our hero strikes a deal with the
Devil, trading his soul for rod’s. it seems like a good idea at the time
but this guy is about to find out the hard way that you can’t find
true love using another man’s moves and that devil or no devil,
there’s only one rod Stewart!
written by multi award-winning writer and comedian Ben Elton (We
Will Rock You) this sensational musical comedy features spectacular
staging, a world class band and dazzling choreography.
