ROCK OF AGES Star Maroulis Talks 'IDOL', 'AGES' And Influences To PEOPLE

Constantine Maroulis recently spoke to PEOPLE about his current appearance in ROCK OF AGES, his experience on "American Idol," and more.  "I was blessed – I was a finalist (on 'Idol')... I probably wouldn't be in this chair if I wouldn't have gone on the audition that day," says Maroulis.

While discussing his influences - he shares that WEST SIDE STORY is his favorite show score -  Maroulis tells the magazine that boy bands, such as New Kids on the Block and 'N Sync, have surfaced within his Rock of Ages character, "Drew." Maroulis adds, "I'm not much of a dancer, but I've tried to channel some of that for Rock of Ages for my 'Joshy J' moment."

In 1987 on the Sunset Strip, a small town girl met a big city rocker and in LA's most famous rock club, they fell in love to the greatest songs of the 80s. It's ROCK OF AGES, an arena-rock love story told through the mind-blowing, face-melting hits of JOURNEY, Night Ranger, STYX, REO SPEEDWAGON, PAT BENATAR, TWISTED SISTER, POISON, ASIA, WHITESNAKE and many more. Don't miss this awesomely good time about dreaming big, playing loud and partying on!
