THE life and career of iconic rocker Rod Stewart gets the tribute act treatment in Clacton this weekend.

Some Guys Have All the Luck is a brand new production charting a career spanning more than half a century.

Starring Paul Metcalfe and an impressive live band, the show takes audiences through Rod’s incredible story, from humble beginnings learning his trade in the R’n’B clubs of the Sixties through to worldwide superstardom and record sales of more than 250 million.

The first half of the show is narrated and charts Rod’s rise to fame from his early club days through to worldwide success in the early Seventies, featuring songs such as Handbags And Gladrags, In A Broken Dream, Stay With Me, Ooh La La and You Wear It Well, and an unplugged section.

The second half 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.

The show is packed with 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.

Some Guys Have All the Luck is at the Princes Theatre on Saturday at 7.30pm. Tickets are £19.50 (£18.50 concessions) on 01255 686633.
