WATCH: TDF's 'Rock of Ages' Conversation

Date: May 05, 2021

Mitchell Jarvis and Adam Dannheisser reminisce about their headbanging heyday

---

For Mitchell Jarvis and Adam Dannheisser, Rock of Ages wasn't just a gig, it was a way of life. Both actors started with the hair-metal jukebox musical when it first rocked Off Broadway in 2008, with Dannheisser playing Dennis Dupree, owner of LA's raucous The Bourbon Room, and Jarvis portraying narrator, charmer and Shakespearean-style fool Lonny. When the musical transferred to Broadway, the boys and their zany shtick went with it. Thirteen years and one pandemic later, we got the BFFs back together to talk about their craziest celebrity encounters, the Rock of Ages All-Star Reunion Concert and Jarvis' hilarious passion project MacBolton. If you weren't able to tune in live on our Facebook page, you can watch a recording of their amusing conversation below.
