For J. Robert Spencer, the journey from eager kid with a drum set and aspirations of rock super-stardom to a leading role in one of the biggest Broadway smashes of recent years was one of hard work, humor, inspiration and a dollop of irony. Long before he received accolades for his on-stage portrayal of a rock star, Spencer longed to be a rock star himself.
