The New York premiere of Rock & Roll Man, a new musical celebrating the life of the legendary Alan Freed, starring Constantine Maroulis as Freed, will open this June at New World Stages, Stage 3. Performances begin June 2, and the official opening night will be June 21, 2023.

Rock & Roll Man chronicles the remarkable life of Alan Freed, the boundary-smashing disc jockey rebel who popularized the records that became the foundation of rock. With an original score that also includes genre-defying hits like "Lucille," "Why Do Fools Fall in Love," "Tutti Frutti," "Good Golly," "Peggy Sue," "Wake Up Little Susie," "Ain't That A Shame," "Long Tall Sally," "Jim Dandy," "Roll Over Beethoven," "Yakety Yak," "I Put A Spell On You," Maybellene," "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes," "Great Balls of Fire," and more, this edgy and inspiring new musical comes to New York after two sold-out critically acclaimed developmental productions at Bucks Country Playhouse and the Berkshire Theatre Group.

This thing has been in development for YEARS across various industry readings and regional productions, under a number of titles. No comment!

Welcome to the message board. Nice of you to join today to dig up a 2+ month old thread to shill for this musical. The nature of your post gives the impression that you're involved with the show, which is a rather desperate look.

edit: oh, never mind, this poster appears to be an AI bot.

According to Instagram, the cast will be performing on The View (ABC - Ch. 7) at 11am.

I’ve seen this a couple times. It’s cute, nothing groundbreaking and a bit creaky with some of the book scenes and original songs, but the performances are unilaterally fantastic (especially Rodrick Covington as Little Richard).

It’s good for a cheap ticket and a nice diversion. I will say it’s MILES better than A Beautiful Noise for sure.
