TV Exclusive: It Ain't Nothin' But A Good Time to Be a Kid in ROCK OF AGES; Samuel French Tries Out High School Version!

Earlier this month, Samuel French tried out the new "High School version" of the hit Broadway musical Rock of Ages in a live workshop presentation performed by a cast of 13 -17 year olds. The workshop helped the creators to adapt one of Broadway's raciest "Rock-n-Roll" musicals into an appropriate, "PG-rated" show for young performers and audiences.

Young actors featured in presentation included Jake Moskovitz (15 year old actor playing Drew Boley), Olivia West (17 year old actor playing Sherrie), plus a whole company of teens taking on the other roles. Below, BroadwayWorld takes you inside the special workshop to see just how the show is shaping up for a younger cast!
