I saw the phrase "Casting to be announced shortly" on the BWW article regarding ROCK OF AGES' move to the Helen Hayes.
Do you think casts will change with the move? or will mostly the same cast remain?

There are very strong rumors circulating that Loretta Swit will be joining the cast once the show transfers. Very strong.

Posted: 1/10/11 at 4:15pmI think a few are leaving. That might be why they're saying casting will be announced shortly.

Posted: 1/10/11 at 4:50pmIs it true that Loretta will be playing the head prostitute? The one who sings "Every Rose Has Its Thorn"?

my guesses:
-Taranto,Padgett, and Mayes will return as Drew,Sherrie, and Justice.
-Mitch Jarvis will return as Lonnie
-New female ensemble is a given, perhaps with Julie Nelson staying on.

I'm so upset this is moving and not In The Heights.

Posted: 1/11/11 at 1:25pmMichele Mais is definitely staying with the show.

I'm only guessing here, but I bet Mitch goes back to being Lonny.
I also am speculating that they will get a new Drew. Not sure who and not sure who would be Stacee, but they need to get some names in those roles.

We heard that rumor when they moved from Off BW to Broadway and it didn't happen.
Still not sure what they were thinking then ??

Posted: 1/11/11 at 10:05pmThe Toronto company of Rock of Ages just closed and apparently some cast members have been offered to transfer to the Helen Hayes.

Posted: 1/12/11 at 3:23amNo ofense to the great current Sherie, but they need a new girl to play that role. Kerry Butler was excellent, they should cast someone that can act and sing the songs like Kerry was able to.

They need someone who can act, sing and DANCE the part of Sherrie... Kerry may have been good at the singing part and ok at the acting part (not saying she was horrible, I just did not like some of her choices) but her dancing was horrendous.
I would not at all be shocked at this point if it's an entirely new cast in March, or at least a new to Broadway cast. It would not surprise me if they cast former Toronto cast members.

They need Savannah Wise back, she was AMAZING!

Even better idea! Keep Emily since she can act, sing, and dance the part effortlessly.

I found Kerry's whiny, nasal voice to be the worst part about the show when I saw it with her.
Uh oh...I just insulted Kerry Butler. I'm sure this thread will be deleted very soon!

Posted: 1/12/11 at 3:33pmwait...would that be difficult to bring canadians into the show? Is there some AEA trading thing?

No disrespect to Kerry, for I love her, but I felt like her Sherry was Kira all over again. I think Butler got a sweet paycheck and a role she could sleep walk through.
Id love to see another actresses take on Justice.
