Children's Audition for "Rock of Ages" Youth Edition

The dual role of omnipotent narrator and the secondary male lead character (but can be played by a female, if necessary), with a storyline that includes a bromance with Dennis. He is a charming and funny guy who gets along with everyone. Many monologues.

The owner of The Bourbon Room. He’s a bit older than the others and a little burnt out on the party scene. Cast someone with a big presence, strong acting skills, and a good voice. Dennis should pair flawlessly with Lonny as the other half of their bromance.

“Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit” who moved to L.A. to rock. Unfortunately, every rocker has to do his time, so Drew barbacks just to make rent. While the music and setting of the show is pre-1980s, Drew is a classic musical theatre archetype – the nice guy with big dreams.

The female lead, like Drew, is a musical theatre archetype – a sweet, small-town girl who moves to the city to pursue a brighter future. She hopes to get her break in the acting business despite her parents’ obvious disapproval.

A group of die-hard rockers helping Anita save the Sunset Strip. Be sure to remind your troops that these ensemble parts are the bedrock for the show. They must capture the need and desire to keep rock alive and kicking. Cast dynamic speakers.
