I absolutely love singing “High Enough” with Constantine. I love it because I don’t get to do it that much. That is what I grew up learning to sing, you know? I do love to belt, so I’m actually having a really fun time singing the songs. Have you always been a secret '80s queen? You’ve gone from Disney ingénue to belting '80s hair band hits.
I was wondering if maybe he was bringing me a beer to cheer me up? Someone screamed out, “You gotta f*** that chick!” Another time I had a guy come on stage during “Harden My Heart,” when I’m crying, and dance on stage. It was when Sherri first meets Stacee Jaxx, during a very quiet moment. Well, it was when I was still the sweet girl. All of this going on while we’re singing the song. Then they were making out in the front row. Yes! My very first week, we had a couple get engaged in the front row during "Don’t Stop Believin.'" He pulled out the ring, kneeled and asked her. Rock of Ages is a more interactive show than most on Broadway. My husband loves me being in this show, I will say that much. Once James came in, we just laughed non-stop. Our assistant choreographer, Robert, is the one I practiced my lap dancing on before James was brought in for my rehearsals. I was just learning the dance steps on my own, rehearsing over and over and over. God, I wish! I think the other girls might have gotten that, but I joined the show so quickly that stripper camp wasn’t an option. Is there a stripper boot camp for this role? So I’ve turned Sherri into a clumsy stripper, which kind of works. I finally went to see it again when I got the offer to make sure I could actually play Sherri-it’s a little dance-heavy, so I was nervous! I’d seen it a while ago and thought it was great. What did you think of the first time you saw Rock of Ages? We gave Butler a call to find out what's up with her wild new gig. The sexy, lacy, teased musical comedy is somewhat of a departure for this former Disney ingenue, who's more accustomed to family-packed audiences than the arena-rock crowds which swarm her current home at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. Butler joined the cast of the hit '80's rock phenomenon in late September, taking over the role of small-town girl Sherri. She's wooed a beast into a prince in Beauty and the Beast, helped the beat go on in Hairspray, taken on alien plants in Little Shop of Horrors and scored a Tony Award nomination for her turn as a sweet, roller-skating muse in Xanadu, but, until recently, Kerry Butler had never donned a studded corset and hopped on a stripper pole.
