Set against the majesty of the Serengeti Plains and to the evocative

rhythms of Africa, Disney’s The Lion King is a worldwide theatrical

phenomenon. It has been seen by over 70 million people worldwide

and is still drawing sell-out crowds at London’s Lyceum Theatre

in its 14th year. In October this award-winning production will

begin its long anticipated season at the Edinburgh Playhouse.

A spectacular visual feast, this adaptation of Disney’s classic

film transports audiences to a dazzling world that explodes

with glorious colours, stunning effects and enchanting music.

At its heart is the powerful and moving story of Simba - the

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.
