Savannah Wise Holds on in ‘Rock of Ages’ Role
Savannah Wise, who has been playing the character of Sherrie in the Broadway musical “Rock of Ages” since the departure of Amy Spanger, will take over the role permanently, the show’s producers announced Thursday. Ms. Wise, whose Broadway credits also include “Les Misérables,” had been understudying the role of Sherrie, the aspiring actress from Kansas whose road to Hollywood glory includes a brief detour in a Los Angeles strip club. Ms. Spanger, who originated the role in the Broadway production, had been out of the show since June 8. On June 29, publicists for the show said that Ms. Spanger had departed due to “personal reasons.”
