Aaron C. Finley Will Have 'Nothin' But a Good Time' as New Star of Broadway's Rock of Ages

I wanna Rock! Aaron C. Finley will make his Broadway debut as Drew in Rock of Ages beginning August 9. Finley will succeed Justin Matthew Sargent as the bartender with rock star dreams in the ‘80s jukebox musical. Sargent will play his final performance as Drew on July 28.
