Tonight?s The Night, The Rod Stewart Musical at The Bristol Hippodrome
Posted on: 22 Jun 2014Tonight’s The Night, the smash hit musical comedy inspired by the songs of Rod Stewart arrives at The Bristol Hippodrome this Monday 23rd June and will remain until Saturday 5th July 2014. Having premiered in the West End in 2003 the musical has since played in front of packed audiences across the UK.
Written by comedian Ben Elton, the musical Tonight’s The Night includes over 20 classic Rod Stewart hits like Tonight’s the Night, Hot Legs, Baby Jane, Do Ya Think I’m Sexy, Maggie May, This Old Heart of Mine, I Don’t Wanna Talk About It, Ooh La La, Some Guys Have All the Luck, Forever Young, Sailing and many more!
Rod Stewart CBE has achieved huge success in his career which to date has spanned 5 decades. He is a two time inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, has won Grammys and sold over 200 million worldwide record sales. Rod Stewart said: “In the past, any ideas for musicals revolving around my songs just didn’t work for me. It was only when we were approached to do ‘Tonight’s The Night’ that the idea really took off. I’m absolutely thrilled that this great show is touring the UK again.”
Says Ben Elton: “Rod is such a totally unique artist. I initially approached him about a musical because his songs are all about storytelling and I felt that a great story could grow from them.”
Tonight’s The Night tells the story of Stu, a shy young man who cannot find the courage to declare his love to the girl of his dreams. The story is set on the streets of Detroit and in the glamorous clubs of uptown LA. Stu is the complete opposite of his hero, the legendary rock n’ roll vagabond Rod Stewart! Stu strikes a deal with the Devil, trading his soul for Rod’s so he can win his love.
