Barrett Harper and the cast of Rock of Ages at BDT Stage
Nominated for five Tony Awards, BDT Stage’s current production of ‘ROCK OF AGES” is tons of fun! It’s a jukebox musical that features rock music from the ‘80s framed by a slim book about two youngsters who are wannabe rock and film stars. They and their hip cohorts are at war with corporate suits trying to buy up the strip and their favorite hangout.

Director
Scott Beyette has cast this campy, kitschy, kookie show full to the brim with actors
who are super-talented.
Denver
favorite Tim Howard plays our young hero, Drew, wielding a custodian’s mop
while fantasizing about becoming the rock star of the ages. His renditions of
“I Wanna Rock” and “Don’t Stop Believing” are phenomenal.
Olivia Sydelle, who plays Sherrie, the young wannabe actress, sings such songs as “Harden My Heart” with power. It’s a no brainer to see that Ms. Sydelle is already a star!

Barrett
Harper turns in a brilliantly animated and superbly entertaining portrayal of
the narrator, Lonny. His “I Can’t Fight This Feeling” with Scott Beyette is hysterical!
Joanie Brosseau
– Rubald is a joy to see onstage! And how does it get any better than hearing her
singing such songs as “Any Way You Want It?”
Brian Burron
and Brian Cronan do a great job with “Hit Me With Your Best Shot.”
As raunchy rocker Stacee Jaxx, Scott
Severtson creates his signature brand of onstage magic singing such songs as “Gonna
Take a Little Time.”
The ensemble is totally awesome, rad and
gnarly!
It includes: Tracy Warren, Alejandro Roldan, Brian
Jackson and Jessica Hindsley.
McKayla Marso gives us a punch and stomp
variety of Jack LaLanne aerobic choreography.
Neal Dunfee’s renowned onstage band is amped
up by the intensity of the outstanding electric guitar playing of Ryan Millard.
This show’s
a little grittier than what one may be used to at BDT Stage.
So it’s
your perfect chance to have a memorable evening of theatre without the kids.
Just promise to take them to BDT Stage’s next production, ANNIE, in November!
