“Rock & Roll Man’s songs include pioneering works tattooed upon the national memory.…There’s no denying the immense cultural influence of Alan Freed.” –NY Times 

The original musical about a musical original. Alan Freed was a trailblazing Cleveland DJ who heard the future—and knew he had to let it sing. He named the genre “Rock & Roll,” bringing music to the masses and integrating artists and audiences on the airwaves and in concerts for the first time in history, uniting people through their love of music. Along the way, he became an icon to the nation’s youth—and a target for the nation’s establishment.

This timeless, joyous and incredibly entertaining musical will move people of all ages and backgrounds. Featuring classics created by legends such as Little Richard, Chuck Berry, LaVern Baker, Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, as well as original songs written just for the stage.

Freed’s passion for music inspired the generation that changed society forever.
