"I know people have come to know me as the rocker from 'American Idol' and certainly Rock of Ages but my love for the classical musical theater goes back to my earliest of memories. Bucks County Playhouse is an iconic venue and our community has been through so much over the shutdown of the last year and a half. I'm so excited and humbled to get back on stage and perform," said Constantine Maroulis. "I know our community will be back bigger and better than ever and I'm excited to share my passion for the theater on stage May 22 and 23 in a brand-new songbook show, 'Don't Stop Believing' celebrating our resilience as a community and all the great shows that made me who I am today, as well as my unique brand of pop covers and original music! Joshua Stephen Cardis is perhaps the finest accompanist working today and he alone is worth the price of admission! See you in New Hope! One of my favorite towns!"
