O.K. I don't know what is, but Connie just tweeted this, so something's coming down the pike.

"Big news droppin PEOPLE!!! @RockOfAges @RockOfAgesTO stay tuned."

ETA: When asked if the news was good or bad he responded:

"Haha hopefully you will think its good. I think its the best situation for me and my fam."

He's doing the tour.

That's what I'm thinking Namo.

Either that or he's going to be in the movie.

I hope he does get the movie, he's earned it.

They did a recount that showed he actually got more votes than that fat guy who beat his girlfriend with a phone.

The Broadway/LA (Pantages) facebook fan page posted "Big ROCK OF AGES News Tomorrow!!!" so we'll find out soon enough.

Umm, since when did Constantine become "Connie"?

O.K. so I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Constantine goes by nickname Connie.

It took me way too long to figure out who "Connie" was.

Well, I haven't heard any big news yet...except this tidbit from Wickipedia:

Constantine Maroulis will depart from the role of Drew in the Summer of 2010.[10]

Hmm...ironically the same time the movie is about to film....

[Piper3500]

well, it could be either. he said it was good for his family right?

i cannot believe who they cast as Lonny in Toronto. Not because he isn't talented, but because Mitch is so fit and light on his feet and this guy, well... isn't.

According to this recent blog, Constantine Maroulis is leaving Broadway and is going on tour starting in Chicago in September! So I reckon that's the news, and Namo was right!

Constantine will be missed on Broadway. I wish the producers good luck filling his shoes.



The tour it is! Updated On: 4/29/10 at 11:49 AM

Announced on Facebook now too:


Constantine leaving to go on tour

[FindingNamo]

Posted: 4/29/10 at 12:23pm

The "good for his family" aspect is that they are paying him scads of money to do the tour.

[Stage Door Sally]

Posted: 4/29/10 at 12:34pm

He deserves whatever he can get.

Pretty excited for this! Rock of Ages is really the only show in the broadway in chicago lineup for fall/winter that i'm actually excited about. Now i'm even more excited!

Just thinking out loud... Constantine is leaving for the tour, the show hasn't recouped yet... I wonder if the Broadway production will close soon after Constantine departs?
