Tonight’s The Night, the smash hit musical comedy inspired by the songs of Rod Stewart, is to take to the stage of the Millennium Forum in Derry next year.
Written by renowned comedian Ben Elton, the show will play five nights from Monday 12 to Saturday 17 May as part of a major new tour.
Rod Stewart has been a pop superstar ever since he topped both the British and US charts simultaneously in 1971 with Maggie May, and the pivotal album it came from, Every Picture Tells a Story.
In a career spanning five decades that has seen over 100 million worldwide record sales, Brit and Grammy Award-winning, the Scot is still as popular as ever with an acclaimed new chart-topping album Time, a 2013 sell-out arena tour and the No 1 Bestseller “Rod – An Autobiography.”
Tonight’s The Night is the all-singing, all-dancing feel-good show that premiered in the West End in 2003 and then went on to play sold-out theatres across Britain.
The show features spectacular staging, a world class band, dazzling choreography and includes over 20 classic Rod Stewart hits such Tonight’s the Night, Dynamite, Hot Legs, Baby Jane, Da 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 Ys oung, Sailing and many more!
Set on the mean streets of Detroit and in the glamorous clubs of uptown LA, the show tells the story of Stu, 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! 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 he’s 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!
Tickets are now available from the Box Office. Telephone 71 264455 or visit www.millenniumforum.co.uk for bookings.
The show begins a major year-long tour next month taking in Manchester Palace Theatre, Liverpool Empire, Edinburgh Playhouse, Birmingham Alexandra, Stoke Regent Theatre, Sunderland Empire, York Grand Opera House before visiting Derry after which it will visit Aberdeen His Majestys, Sheffield Lyceum, Glasgow Kings, Nottingham Royal Theatre, Bristol Hippodrome and the Norwich Theatre Royal.
