Tonight's the Night is a jukebox musical based on the songs of British singer Rod Stewart with a book by Ben Elton.[1] It opened in October 2003 at the Victoria Palace Theatre, and ran for just over a year.

A scaled down version of the musical toured the UK between February and July 2006, commencing at the Palace Theatre, Manchester. It was directed by C. Jay Ranger, with new sets, lighting, sound and costumes.

Reviewing the show in The Guardian, Lyn Gardner noted "What it conveniently forgets is that what makes Stewart distinctive is not the haircut or the obsession with booze, football and blondes, but that exquisite cheesegrater voice with its bluesy catch. However gutsy this cast are, however well they can put a song across, the Rod Stewart musical lacks that one essential ingredient."[2]
