FORMER Coronation Street actor, Kevin Kennedy, will star in Rock of Ages, which comes to the Mayflower Theatre July 16, 2019.

Kevin – probably best known for playing Curly Watts in the soap – will play Dennis in the hit stage show, with Zoe Birkett as Justice, Jodie Steele as Sherrie, Luke Walsh as Drew, Lucas Rush as Lonny, Andrew Carthy as Franz, Vas Constanti as Hertz and Rhiannon Chesterman as Regina.

Rock of Ages is an LA love story lavished with over 25 classic rock anthems.

Lose yourself in a city and a time where the dreams are as big as the hair, and yes, they really can come true!

This hilarious musical comedy features the songs We Built This City, The Final Countdown, Here I Go Again, Can’t Fight this Feeling and I Want To Know What Love Is – played loud and proud by an awesome live band.

Now a global smash with extensive runs in London’s West End, on Broadway and in Las Vegas, the show has also been made in to a star studded Hollywood movie.

Kevin's West End theatre credits include Amos in Chicago at the Adelphi Theatre and We Will Rock You at the Dominion Theatre. He has played both Caractacus Potts and The Child Catcher in the hit musical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, becoming the first actor to have played both roles.

He has also appeared in the national tours of the musicals The Rocky Horror Show, The Commitments and most recently Kay Mellor’s Fat Friends.
