In addition, Derek St. Pierre and Katie Webber will join the show on March 22. St. Pierre takes over the madcap role of German land developer Franz, replacing the exiting Tom Lenk, while Webber assumes the part of Waitress #1.

Before joining Rock of Ages, Padgett appeared on Broadway in Legally Blonde and Grease. She recently starred opposite Taylor Hicks in the national tour of Grease.

St. Pierre makes his Broadway debut with Rock of Ages. Regional credits include Camelot and 42nd Street. Webber comes directly from the Broadway company of Memphis. Additional credits include Broadwayâ??s Wicked, Jerry Mitchellâ??s Peepshow and the film version of Rent(the article mentions it's his B'way debut and then they say he was in Wicked on Broadway? Odd)


I have already seen Padgett twice, so I probably won't be going back to the show until someone new gets cast.
I will try to see Kerry once again though, she is delightful and beyond amazing.

I never saw ROA but I did see Emily as Margot in Legally Blonde and she was incredible.

Legally Blonde was a cute show & she was excellent.
.
>>>Emily was good as Sherrie, I wish I had seen Ericka to compare her to.

I thought they were both wonderful.
I only saw Erica once so it's hard to say which I liked better.
Emily has a raelly beautiful voice.
As long as my favorite Drew is in - I'm flexible.

I was there to see Kerry's last performance. Everyone was in, the show was sold out a 100%.

Kerry was fantastic and you could tell the entire cast loved her, as well as all the people that work at the theatre, Lauren Molina was amazing, Constantine and Mitch are always terrific. Amazing!

Oh. My. God. Kerry's last show was indeed fabulous!

It's true, the entire cast was giving it their all for her.
When she first got onstage she looked sad and shaky but JWo started dancing around her and it was precious.
She got a look on her face a few times but she pulled it together & was extra fierce.
Some of the audience bothered my sometimes but overall a magical night!!

Did you "stage door"? I was there, you should've said hi!

I didn't get to stage door unfortunately!
My umbrella broke while I was leaving the theater to teach me a lesson though, haha.

Where did you get to sit??

I was also there. I agree, Kerry did get a look on her face a few times; I thought she held it together pretty well until Every Rose, when she said "I think I need to go", she delivered the line differently than I'd ever heard her and you could tell Maisy was trying to calm her down a bit. I did notice a bit more emotion out of both Kerry and Con during Heaven and High Enough. Sad to see Kerry go, but excited to see Emily full-time.

is Emily going to be doing all 8 shows or will Katie be doing 2 a week?

Katie???
Emily will be doing 8 shows a week, if she calls in sick, Ericka will play Sherrie I was told.

i hadn't heard about Ericka playing Sherrie, although that makes me happy... but Emily is doing 8 shows per week.
