First Billy now Rod...
Published June 11, 2003
The latest West End compilation musical, based around Rod Stewart's hits,
will spoof the veteran singer and his reputation as a womaniser. In the show
? 'Tonight's The Night' ? a shy Rod Stewart fanatic, Stu Roderick, wants his
idol's lady-getting-skills, so he makes a deal with the Devil to get Stewart's womanising ways. Roderick finds himself possessed with the charms that helped Stewart to woo a string of blonde beauties including Rachel Hunter, Caprice and Britt Ekland.
Commenting of the show Stewart told reporters: "This musical has wonderfully
tender moments and wonderfully hilarious moments. I think it's tremendous
and I hope it will be a hit. I've regretted for some time that my personal life has, through the years, always overshadowed what I think is not a bad
songwriting ability. Some of the songs I've written, like Maggie May, will last a very long time. That's extremely important to me, to know these things will go on after you."
Written by Ben Elton (he of the literary masterpiece that was the storybook
to Queen musical We Will Rock You'), Tonight's The Night opens at London's
Victoria Palace Theatre in October.
Marty's band, Growing Old Disgracefully, can be found at: Disgraceful Music. His Cthulhu tales can be found at Temple of Dagon.
