New World Stages

Alas, this high-energy musical offered its last Off-Broadway performance on September 1, 2023. Hopefully it will be returning to another stage in the near future. ROCK & ROLL MAN: The Musical is the story of Alan Freed, a Cleveland DJ, who is credited, rightly or wrongly, with creating Rock & Roll. Whatever the legend, it is true that he was responsible for bringing it to the mainstream, and until then, conservative audiences. The sacrifices he made are detailed in the story, along with glorious hits made popular by Little Richard, Chuck Berry, LaVern Baker, Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and The Drifters. The Coasters, and The Platters. The music and memories alone are worth the price of admission! Constantine Maroulis holds his own as Freed; it is always delightful to see Joe Pantoliano; and Rodrick Covington follows in the footsteps of Little Richard by stealing the show.

Be on the lookout for ROCK & ROLL MAN: The Musical. It is pure entertainment.
