Story for Rock & Roll Man, The Musical
Tony Award®-nominee Constantine Maroulis and Emmy Award Winner Joe Pantoliano
Rock & Roll Man is the original musical about a musical original.
Alan Freed was a Cleveland DJ who heard the future—and knew he had to let it sing. He named the genre “Rock & Roll,” bringing music to the masses and integrating artists and audiences on the airwaves and in concerts for the first time in history. Along the way, he became an icon to the nation’s youth—and a target for the nation’s establishment.
Rock & Roll Man features classics created by legends such as Little Richard, Chuck Berry, LaVern Baker, Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, as well as original songs written just for the stage.
Freed’s passion for music inspired the generation that changed society forever.
