Thumbs Up! Feel the ‘Heat of the Moment’ with Justin Matthew Sargent & the Awesome New Cast of Rock of Ages

Thanks to a big screen adaptation starring Tom Cruise and Julianne Hough, '80s music fans can get their Rock of Ages fix in an air-conditioned movie theater this summer. But the heat is still on at Broadway’s Helen Hayes Theatre, thanks to Rock standout Justin Matthew Sargent as Drew Boley, the Bourbon Room busboy with rock star dreams. While the Broadway alum (who was also featured as a swing in Bonnie & Clyde) has the dimpled smile and puppy dog eyes of a boy next door, Sargent’s killer pipes would suggest otherwise. Channeling the badass attitude and out-of-this-world vocal range of rockers like Steven Tyler, Axl Rose and Steve Perry, Sargent hits one astounding high note after the next, breathing an electric new life into this long-running hit. When Sargent takes the stage with his energetic and hilarious new co-stars (including Ashley Spencer as Sherrie and Genson Blimline as Lonny), there’s no better place on Broadway to party like a rock star.
