The “Sherrie” understudy will play the role during both performances on Sundays. Constantine Maroulis continues his Tony Award Nominated performance staring in the show as “Drew”.
Kerry Butler most recently starred on Broadway, and received Tony Award and Drama League Award nominations for her critically acclaimed role as ‘Kira” in Xanadu.

Kerry has also made numerous television appearances which include “Lipstick Jungle”, “Cupid”, CBS’s “Second Honeymoon” (with Roma Downey), “Another World,” “Sesame Street,” "Hometown” and “One Life to Live” (Claudia Reston). She recently recorded her first solo CD, Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust, on PS Classics and performed as “Brenda” in the 2009 world premiere of the musical “Catch Me If You Can” this summer in Seattle.
“Kerry is one of my favorite Broadway performers and I cannot tell you how lucky we feel to have her,” says lead producer Carl Levin. "She's funny, she's beautiful, and most importantly she can sing like a rock star."
Tickets can be purchased via Ticketmaster.com/ 212-307-4100 or in person at The Brooks Atkinson Box Office (256 West 47th Street).
The performance schedule is Monday at 8pm, Tuesday at 7pm, Thursday at 8pm, Friday

News Updates from Rock of Ages!
What's up, rockers!?!?!
Go to the Circle Line's web site to order your tickets now for a rockin’ night on the Hudson! And FYI, cast members will be joining in on the fun on the water, but specific names have not been released at this time.
3.
Don Stephenson will be portraying the scourge of the Sunset Strip, the destined demolisher of Dupree’s, “Hertz Kleinman” while Paul Schoeffler is temporarily relocating to the fictional town of Beaumont Sur Mer (via Philadelphia, PA), portraying the charming cad "Lawrence Jamieson" in the Walnut Street Theater production of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” (a role made famous in film by Michael Caine and on Broadway by John Lithgow). Paul will be returning to Rock of Ages beginning October 26th.
Eric Sciotto is the newest super-Swing in the ROA family and with lots of vacations and such over the summer and fall, I’m sure there will be lots of chances to enjoy his work! He hit the ground running last night (Monday, August 17) playing Joey Primo in what is now being referred to as the Epic Understudy Festival (6 understudies and 2 debuts in one performance)!
Welcome to both and break a leg!
Whew! Thanks for sticking around to the end of this message. Hope you all are having a rockin’ summer and I’ll see you in The Bourbon Room!
