Drama
Rock Follies



This gritty, biting drama follows an all-girl band in the turbulent world of rock ‘n’ roll. Their struggle to the top is told in an entertaining blend of comedy, dance, and music, with hit songs and an inventive visual style. Three actresses meet when they audition for the lead in a doomed Broadway revival. Anna, Dee, and Q have seen everything that an actress’s life has to offer except success.

When the show folds before it has even opened, the musical director persuades them to help him achieve his greatest ambition -- to set up and run an all-girl rock group, a real one with bite, power, and conviction. It’s not easy, though.

There are emotional problems, and the hard work of touring small venues around Britain is exhausting, while their attempt to interest the record companies is a disaster, but whatever happens, they are determined to make it. Fortunately, help is on the way in the dynamic shape of Kitty Schreiber, a high-powered American agent. Kitty discovers the group at their lowest ebb but she can see their potential. She wants to take them to the top -- and she’s got the push to do it. It’s a world where business comes first and people second, where even if you sing like an angel you have to pay your dues, and the price of success can sometimes be too high.
