Say hello to the big brother of Broadway! Rock of Ages star and Big Brother alum Frankie J. Grande is Broadway.com’s newest video blogger! Get ready as Grande shows us nothin’ but a good time in The Final Countdown: Backstage at Rock of Ages with Frankie J. Grande.
Grande will take viewers behinds the scenes at the Helen Hayes Theatre, where he bangs his head nightly with co-stars Constantine Maroulis, Lauren Zakrin and fellow YouTube sensation Chester See. We’re giving him a camera, and we ssume he’ll film them all with his best shot.
Grande has appeared on the Broadway stage in Mamma Mia! and served as a producer for the revivals of Hamlet, La Bete and Born Yesterday. He also played a drag queen pageant hopeful in the benefit production of Pageant: The Musical and was scheduled to star in the tuner’s off-Broadway engagement before appearing on Big Brother. Speaking of older siblings, he's Ariana Grande's half-brother. (But you knew that.)
The Final Countdown will kick off on December 2 and run every Tuesday through the show’s run, which concludes on January 18, 2015.
