ROCK OF AGES Star Spanger Out On Vocal Rest, Will Return 6/29

ROCK OF AGES star Amy Spanger will continue with the hit Broadway musical, according to a statement from the show's producers. Spanger has not appeared in the musical since June 8th, leaving fans of the show to speculate the cause of her absence, and if she would return to the show.

"Amy Spanger has been on vocal rest per her doctor's order since Monday, June 8th and will return to the show on Monday, June 29th. We look forward to her return," ROCK OF AGES producers stated today.

"ROCK OF AGES" is set in 1987 in L.A.'s most legendary rock club on the Sunset Strip, where a small-town girl meets a big-city dreamer and they fall in love to the greatest songs of the '80's. The musical is a hilarious feel-good love story told through the hit songs of iconic rockers Journey, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, Pat Benatar, Whitesnake, and many more.
