Oliver is delighted to take on this role: “Growing up listening to 80′s Power Ballads on VH1 I used to dream about combining 80′s Rock songs with musical comedy but someone beat me to it. “Rock of Ages the Musical” is way better than what I dreamt of and you know what they say “If you cant beat them Join them!”
Joining Oliver and Amy to belt out some of the greatest hits of the 80’s (including Wanted Dead Or Alive, Don’t Stop Believin’, Here I Go Again, and I Want to Know What Love Is) will be Simon Lipkin best known for playing Nicky / Trekkie Monster in the Original London Cast of Avenue Q who will be taking the role of the wise-cracking narrator Lonny.
Don’t miss your chance to get a first glimpse of the new London cast members in action at the shows preview at London’s West End Live event in Trafalgar Square this coming weekend, 18th and 19th June.
The performances will be on Saturday – 2.55pm & 3.55pm and again on Sunday – 1.35pm & 3.35pm.
Who’s seen Oliver, Simon, Amy or other cast members in other shows? Let us know your thoughts!

Oliver has a fantastic voice and a great stage presence. Can’t wait to see him again in the west end. I saw him a couple of times in Wicked. And also saw him perform at a competition for west end actors in the Criterion ( Elaine Page was one of the judges). We were sitting front row, wich is really too close but those were the only tickets left last minute. It didn’t matter because my daughter (18) is such a great fan and she thought it was heaven. Lol.
Break A leg
Have seen Jodie Jacobs several times. She has a terrific voice and is a cracking actress too. Seen Twinnie-Lee Moore in We Wil Rock You and she was excellent when on tour in Chicago. That’s a cracking cast there.
I’m delighted to see such a strong cast list for this production, with people like Oliver, Amy, Simon in the lead parts as well as JLC and Shayne! Personally I’m massively pleased to see Nathan Amzi and Jodie Jacobs in the West End where they both belong! Nathan, who was simply faultless every time I saw him in Rocky Horror (37 or so times!), superb voice, will fit perfectly into this sort of show! He’s definatly deserving of a chance to shine in the west end! Hopefully with the strength of the OLC this show will run for a good length of time! Good Luck Rockers!
YES!!!! JODIE JACOBS IS IN THIS, SHE IS AWESOME SAW HER IN WE WILL ROCK YOU, THE WEDDING SINGER AND FOOTLOOSE! SHE IS AMAZING, WHAT A VOICE. PERFECT!!!!!
I saw Simon a few years ago in the Wedding Singer & in Footloose and I just thought he was brilliant. I can not wait to see this show – got my tickets for 30th September xx
great show! thank you!
