Galen Disston And Diana Huey To Star In ROCK OF AGES at 5th Avenue Theatre

Are you ready to rock, Seattle?! The 5th Avenue Theatre is excited to announce that Diana Huey and Galen Disston will lead the cast of its brand new production of Rock of Ages, the '80s rock ballad blast that features the music of Styx, Joan Jett, Twisted Sister, and more.

Huey, a Seattle native, returns to The 5th as Sherrie, after most recently starring as Ariel in 2017's holiday smash success Disney's The Little Mermaid. Disston, who makes his theatrical debut in this production as Drew, is the lead singer of Seattle's own soulful rock 'n' roll band Pickwick, which gained national notoriety with their 2013 debut record Can't Talk Medicine. Additional casting, which features an incomparable group of nationally recognized musicians and Seattle-based actors, will be announced at a later date. Lisa Shriver, the acclaimed choreographer known for her work on Broadway in Jesus Christ Superstar, The Story of My Life, and Ring of Fire, among others, makes her 5th Avenue Theatre debut to direct and choreograph.

Playing February 1 - 24, 2019 (press opening Friday, February 8), single tickets for Rock of Ages are on sale now and subscriptions are still available online at www.5thavenue.org, by phone at 206.625.1900, or in person at the Box Office at 1308 5th Avenue in Downtown Seattle.

Wonderfully funny, occasionally zany, and riddled with scorching songs, Rock of Ages is an unforgettable experience that spent six years on Broadway as well as sold out productions around the world. Rock of Ages is the story of a small town girl and a city boy, who meet on the Sunset Strip while pursuing their Hollywood dreams. Their rock 'n' roll romance is told through the heart-pounding hits of Styx, Whitesnake, Poison, Foreigner, Joan Jett, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister and more.
