ROCK OF AGES debuts its first-ever celebrity guest, TV host and entertainer Joey Fatone, through April 2015. Fatone joins the talented cast as legendary Bourbon Room owner Dennis Dupree.
“I’m thrilled for the opportunity to party with the cast of ROCK OF AGES in Las Vegas,” said Fatone. “I have been a big fan of ROCK OF AGES since the beginning, and having the opportunity to make my return to the stage with this production starring as Dennis Dupree is going to be a rockin’ ride!”
Fatone’s limited engagement with ROCK OF AGES marks his return to the theatrical stage after more than a decade. Fatone made his Broadway debut as “Mark Cohen” in RENT in 2002 and also performed the role of “Seymour” in LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS in 2004.
“We are delighted for Joey to become a part of the ROCK OF AGES Las Vegas family,” said Scott Armstrong, Vice President and Managing Producer. “He is a dynamic performer whose talents and charisma are undeniable, making him a perfect fit for this role.”
Cast member Troy Burgess, who originated the role of “Dennis Dupree” in Las Vegas, will return to the role at the conclusion of Fatone’s engagement.
