TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT - THE ROD STEWART MUSICAL Coming to King's Theatre Glasgow, 2 June

Tonight's The Night, the smash hit musical comedy inspired by the songs of Rod Stewart, that premiered in the West End in 2003 and went on to play sold-out theatres across the UK, has hit the road again as part of a new UK tour.

This all-singing, all-dancing feel-good show returns to the King's Theatre Glasgow on Monday 2 June with a top notch cast including Clydebank's very own Jenna Lee-James (We Will Rock You, Joseph) as Mary, Stu's love interest.

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.

Starring alongside Jenna is Ben Heathcote (Mamma Mia!, Three Musketeers) as Stuart, Tiffany Graves (We Will Rock You, Sweet Charity) reprising her role as Satan/Baby Jane, Ricky Rojas (Grease, Strictly Confidential) as Stoner, Andy Rees (Legally Blonde, A Chorus Line) as Rocky, Rosie Heath (Mamma Mia!) as Dee Dee and Craig Mather (Les Miserables) as the alternate Stuart.

The rest of the company comprises Michelle Antrobus, Joshua Dever, Amy Diamond, Rosie Fletcher, Sinead Long, Tom Millen, Darryl Paul, Dominic Spin, Lindsey Tierney and Darren Tough.

With a book by multi award-winning writer and comedian Ben Elton (We Will Rock You), Tonight's The Night features spectacular staging, a world class band, dazzling choreography and 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 is a two time inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, a Grammy Living Legend, and in 2007 he was bestowed the prestigious CBE. In a career spanning five decades that has seen over 200 million worldwide record sales, Brit and Grammy Award-winning Rod 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 - The Autobiography'.

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 is presented by Phil McIntyre Entertainments, Arnold Stiefel and Ambassador Theatre Group. Directed by Caroline Jay Ranger.
