He’s back…and with a new look! Mitchell Jarvis, who originated the role of the mullet-rocking narrator Lonny Barnett in Rock of Ages, returns to the jukebox tuner on September 15. This time, he’s stepping into the shoes of the wild aging rock idol Stacee Jaxx, succeeding Joey Calveri in the role at the Helen Hayes Theatre.
Jarvis made his Broadway debut in Fiddler on the Roof. Other stage credits include Threepenny Opera, The Rocky Horror Show and The Toxic Avenger. Additionally, It Could Be Worse, the comedic web series that he co-penned with fellow Rock of Ages original cast member Wesley Taylor, was recently picked up by Hulu for its second season.
Featuring a score of such classic rock hits as "Here I Go Again," “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” and “Don’t Stop Believin’,” Rock of Ages tells the story of Drew, an aspiring rock star who moves to Los Angeles to make his dreams come true.
Jarvis joins a cast that includes original star Constantine Maroulis, Carrie St. Louis, Adam Dannheisser, Genson Blimline, Josephine Rose Roberts, Cody Scott Lancaster, Paul Schoeffler and Teresa Stanley.
