SOME Guys Have All The Luck is a fantastic theatre production celebrating the life and career of Rod Stewart, one of rock music’s greatest icons.
Starring Paul Metcalfe and featuring a fantastic live band with impeccable credits, the show takes the audience through Rod’s incredible story from his humble beginnings street busking and singing in the R ‘n B clubs of the 60’s through to worldwide superstardom and record sales in excess of 130 million.
The first half of the show charts Rod’s rise to fame from his early days struggling to climb the ladder of success through to worldwide success in the early 70’s. It features songs from the earlier part of Rod’s career, including Handbags & Gladrags, In A Broken Dream, Stay With Me, Ooh La La and Wear It Well. It also includes an unplugged (and seated!) section.
The second half of the show captures all the excitement and energy of a Rod Stewart concert and is full of the same swaggering showmanship, audience participation and sheer sense of fun. It is crammed full of hits such as Maggie May, Sailing, Baby Jane, Da Ya Think I’m Sexy,
Tonight’s The Night, The First Cut Is The Deepest and You’re In My Heart – to name but a few!
Every single show has the audience singing along and dancing in the aisles and always ends with a standing ovation.
The show includes a stunning stage set, a spectacular light show and stage-wide projections of Rod throughout his career.
Paul has been performing as Rod Stewart for longer than he cares to remember but it’s at least 20 years. After paying his dues in clubs and bars for many years he decided that a theatre show dedicated to the songs and story of Rod Stewart could well be very successful.
What better applause could Paul receive than to have Rod’s brother and sister praise his amazing performance.
After seeing his show, Don Stewart said: “I’ve seen some ‘Rods’ in my time, but Paul is the best one I’ve ever seen.”
And Mary Cady, Rod’s sister added: “I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Paul’s voice and mannerisms were the closest I’ve ever seen to Rod himself.”
