Aussie/Filipino WEST END star, BROADWAY star, ROCKSTAR:INXS finalist, and now INTERNATIONAL RECORDING ARTIST MiG Ayesa is now in Pittsburgh 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 Benedum Center for a limited eight performances November 23 thru November 28, 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, Cincinnati, and Detroit, before its arrival in Pittsburgh. ‘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.
Pittsburgh holds wonderful memories for MiG, as it was at Pittsburgh's South Side's Hard Rock Café in March of 2007 that MiG first performed songs from his, at that time, soon to be released self titled debut album. The opportunity to not only return to the city, but have more time to get to know its people and history, is what MiG has most looked forward to on this stop on the tour. While musical theatre continues to be one of MiG's greatest aspirations, it is the opportunities touring provides, for connecting with each new cities people, fans, friends, and family, that MiG finds most rewarding. 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.
