Published Friday, Nov 22 2013, 17:06 GMT | By Mayer Nissim
Sugababe Jade Ewen has been cast in Ben Elton's Rod Stewart musical Tonight's The Night.
The new tour opens at Manchester's Palace Theatre on January 20, 2014, having previously premiered in the West End in 2003.
Elton's book is accompanied by more than 20 Stewart songs, including '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' and 'Sailing'
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."
Elton added: "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."
Starring alongside Ewen are Michelle Antrobus, Joshua Dever, Amy Diamond, Rosie Fletcher, Rosie Heath, Sinead Long, Tom Millen, Darryl Paul, Ricky Rojas, Spin and Lindsey Tierney.
Ewen will play the role of Dee Dee up until April 26 at the Milton Keynes Theatre, at which point she will be replaced in the cast.
The full tour dates are as follows:
