Aussie/Filipino WEST END star, BROADWAY star, ROCKSTAR:INXS finalist, and now INTERNATIONAL RECORDING ARTIST MiG Ayesa is now in Detroit with the cast of ‘ROCK OF AGES' for its next stop on the US tour. MiG is playing the role of STACEE JAXX, opposite American Idol's Tony Award Nominee Constantine Maroulis, who reprises his acclaimed performance as ‘Drew', for the musical tour across the country.
‘ROCK OF AGES', playing at The Fisher Theatre for a limited two-week engagement November 9 thru November 21, 2010, celebrated one year on Broadway as well as 5 Tony Award nominations and 267 sold out shows before hitting the road for its US tour in September. Its first stop ‘rocked' the city of Chicago with its sold out shows and rave reviews, followed with equally successful stops in Boston, Minneapolis, and Cincinnati before its arrival in Detroit. ‘ROCK OF AGES' is a hair-band love story of a small town girl who meets a big city rocker on LA's Sunset Strip's most famous dive bar. They fall in love to the greatest songs of the '80's as the story is told through the mind-blowing, face melting hits of Journey, STYX, Bon Jovi, Poison, Whitesnake and many more.
The opportunity to explore Detroit's historic connections to music revolutions, especially Motown, is just one of the many reasons MiG has looked forward to this next stop on the tour. Motor City is also home to fellow ROCKSTAR: INXS finalist, Detroit artist, and good friend, Brandon Calhoon. While musical theatre continues to be one of MiG's greatest aspirations, it is the opportunities touring provides, for connecting with artists such as Calhoon, fans, friends, and family, that MiG most looks forward to. Although MiG has played leads on a Broadway musical (‘BURN THE FLOOR') and stages such as London's West End (‘WE WILL ROCK YOU', ‘RENT', ‘BUDDY') and in Australia (‘GREASE', ‘FAME', ‘RENT', ‘WEST SIDE STORY', ‘BUDDY'), sang on television shows (ROCKSTAR:INXS, HANDEL'S MESSIAH ROCKS, THE ROYAL VARIETY PERFORMANCE), toured with concerts (‘THRILLER:LIVE!', ‘QUEEN SYMPHONIC SPECTACULAR', ‘THE MUSIC OF Andrew Lloyd Webber'), played vampires on film (QUEEN OF THE DAMNED) and globally released his self-titled debut CD through Decca/Universal, it is his love of connecting with and meeting new people, that he views as the true blessing, making his job worth more than its weight in gold.
MiG is also in the final stages of recording his follow-up CD, due for release in the coming months.
