Casting Announced For ROCK OF AGES at Darlington Hippodrome

Danielle Hope, best-known for having won BBC One's Over the Rainbow, will be joined by Kevin Kennedy who played the role of Curly Watts in Coronation Street for over 25 years and Darlington's own West End diva Zoe Birkett when the UK tour of Rock of Ages stops off in Darlington next week.

Following her time in Oz playing the role of Dorothy, Danielle has since starred in some of the most iconic musicals including Les Miserables, The Sound of Music and Grease.

Away from Coronation Street Kevin Kennedy is no stranger to the theatre having appeared in West End musicals including Chicago, We Will Rock You as well as UK tours of The Rocky Horror Show, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and The Commitments.

Zoe Birkett is no stranger to Darlington audiences with several Hippodrome pantomime appearances to her name. Zoe has most recently played Rachel Marron in the UK tour of The Bodyguard as well as starring in shows such as Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Hair, Rent, Tommy and Thriller Live.

Rock Of Ages is an LA love story lavished with over 25 classic rock anthems including We Built This City, The Final Countdown, Here I Go Again, Can't Fight this Feeling and I Want To Know What Love Is, played loud and proud by an awesome live band.

Rock Of Ages runs at Darlington Hippodrome from Monday 8 to Saturday 13 October.
