If you are looking for a fun musical Rock & Roll Man is for you. At the New World Stages Gary Kupper, Larry Marshak and Rose Caiola have written a fun show about Alan Freed, the man credited with inventing the term Rock & Roll from the vast R & B singers of the 1950's and 60's.

The musical is somewhat informative about the Cleveland DJ who refused to have the new music of that era silenced. Freed would end up drinking himself to death. Although it wasn't made really clear in the play, Freed was a womanizer, cavorted with gangsters, Joe Pantoliano as Morris Levy ( Pantoliano would double as Leo Mintz, a record store owner).

As Alan Freed, Constantine Maroulis sings and dances his way into the audiences hearts. With a spunky cast and set(Tim Mackabee), and gitchy but insightful costumes (Leon Dobkowski) and backing both of these two spectacles is superb lighting by Matthew Richards and Aja M. Jackson. Freed is able to tell his story about how he brought Little Richard (Rodrick Covington), Valisia Lekae as VaVern Baker, Dominique Scott as Jerry Lee Lewis and many more to the big stage and gave them plenty of air time, even toured with them. It was Freed that took the time, the chance, giving these great artists a shot at the big time.

Eventually Freed would come to New York City radio (WINS) and would meet Levy, a promoter, nightclub owner (Birdland) and gangster. This would lead to many problems. Already in the crosshairs of the FBI, J.Edgar Hoover (Bob Ari) would investigate Freed for graft (payola). It is here where the story gets dicey and weak a little bit. Was Freed in a drunken stupor, or was Hoover actually there? It was never really clear and the cross dressing scene with Hoover was very cheesy, indeed! I think the direction (Randal Myler) at this juncture in a otherwise good musical gets weakened. For the most part the Choreography by Stephanie Klemons is strong. The vast majority of the actors impersonating the famous singers are spot on.

In the music and lyrics by Gary Kupper, the show hammers out some terrific song... "Ready Teddy", "Sixty Minute Man", 'Jim Dandy" in the first act and act two with... "Peggy Sue", "Roll Over Beethoven, "Good Man" and the final song with the great voice of Maroulis "Rock and Roll Music".

As far as a musical goes, "Rock & Roll Man" is a goody; as its plot line goes, it is fair at best bordering on weak.

His workout jam

' Blem' by Drake, or anything on the Fit Radio app.

What motivated you to come to be a trainer?

Growing up as the 18th kid out of 19, I obtained to embrace the extremes of self-control and mayhem before moving out on my very own at 16 years of ages. In university, my dean urged me to strike the gym to discover balance as an entertainer. As I educated, my body formed as well as all over I would go, people would certainly request for my suggestions concerning health and fitness.

' My fitness approach is not so much regarding what you're doing, it's about being clear concerning that you intend to be.'

When I would certainly exercise with associates in the show business and also would certainly see the outcomes they were producing in their body, mind, and spirit. I made it my company to maintain them encouraged and also determined, as well as I discovered that the a lot more I did that, the more I came to be encouraged as well as motivated.

What's the most unusual thing you have actually discovered being a physical fitness pro?

I never laid out to mix being spiritual and also being a physical fitness pro, yet I uncovered that for me, they are the same. When a client is feeling mentally unpredictable and also clinically depressed, as they educate with me, naturally the endorphins increase as well as they feel much better. Individuals are usually crying or chuckling a whole lot in my sessions. It was extremely unusual in the beginning, and now I love it!
