Playing @
Bucks County Playhouse
70 South Main St, New Hope, PA 18938
The high energy musical, “Rock and Roll Man” uncovers the true story of Alan Freed — the Father of Rock and Roll. 

It is the 1950s and a cocky young DJ discovers the music that all America wants to hear — except no radio station will play it.  Through guts, grit, and ingenuity, Alan perseveres and unearths music for a new generation.  Featuring original songs and classic tunes by legends like Little Richard, Frankie Lymon and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, this world premiere will have you rocking around the clock!

Starring Tony nominee Alan Campbell (Sunset Boulevard) as Freed and featuring Emmy nominee George Wendt (Norm from Cheers!) as J. Edgar Hoover
