Tuesday, July 7th
Performance and Autograph Signing at 12:30 pm
J&R Music World, 23 Park Row


Following an extremely successful off Broadway run, Rock of Ages is now at Broadway's Brooks Atkinson Theatre starring Constantine Maroulis as "Drew", Amy Spanger as "Sherrie" and James Carpinello as "Stacee Jaxx".

The musical tells the story of a small town girl who meets a big city rocker on the Sunset Strip in 1987. They fell in love to the greatest songs of the '80s. An awesomely good time story about dreaming big, playing loud and partying on.

Crowds and critics agree - Rock Of Ages is "a nonstop party laden with sexy choreography, energetic performances and an on stage band that totally rocks the house" proclaims The Associated Press. The New York Post says, "Rock Of Ages does for '80s rock what "Mamma Mia!" did for ABBA.

Constantine Maroulis, James Carpinello, Mitch Jarvis, Michele Mais, Lauren Molina, Wesley Taylor - stars of the Rock Of Ages cast will perform three songs and sign copies of Rock of Ages Original Cast Recording.
