Producers said on Tuesday that Zuckerberg will play community leader Regina, notes The Associated Press. The production is currently staged at the Helen Hayes Theatre and features a collection of 1980s hits. “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” and “Don’t Stop Believin’” are just two songs featured in the musical, which was turned into a movie.
The Dot Complicated author sang while she attended Harvard. She worked at her brother’s company until 2011.
According to Broadway World, the producers are also celebrating the show’s fifth anniversary with a social media celebration that starts on March 14 and ends on April 14, the same dates Zuckerberg will perform. The party is called “#RockofAge5.”
“Every performance, for the last five years, has delivered an incredible on-stage and audience experience earning the show its title as Broadway's Best Party,” producer Matthew Weaver said. “So for the next 4 weeks, kicking off with Randi Zuckerberg, we're going to be 'sharing' the love with our audiences with a ton of fun surprises.”
Rock of Ages opened on Broadway in April 2009 at the The Brooks Atkinson Theatre. It moved to the Helen Hayes Theatre in January 2011.
