During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the show did go on. Veteran Actor, Writer, and Director Philip Paul Kelly (Ragtime On Ellis Island, Elf the Musical, Titanic the Musical) staged an elevated reading of his exciting new Rock-n-Roll wrestling spectacle, "Rockquiem For A Wrestler," at the legendary Triad Theater in New York City.
The story of a champion wrestler revisiting his past, transporting the audience simultaneously between the world of professional wrestling and attending a rock concert streamed live on June 27, 2020, was a great success. One of the most asked questions online was regarding the availability of the music.
The music blends rock 'n' roll with high-energy anthems that capture the drama and spectacle of professional wrestling. The punk-edged sensibilities of Eddie Star's music and Paul Castrataro's compositions create a unique listening experience that works as a concept album and stand-alone rock record.
This CD release makes the music accessible to fans who experienced the groundbreaking livestream performance, as well as new listeners discovering this unique fusion of rock opera and wrestling mythology.
Ton-Up Records is pleased to present a selection of eight songs from the show, featuring the music of Eddie Star (Eddie Star & The Zero Effect, JoyBox) and composer Paul Castrataro (Portrait of Dorian Gray, Fags & Cellphones).
This official cast recording is a unique moment in theater history - an off-Broadway show that defied the pandemic shutdown. For fans of rock, concept albums, or innovative musical theater, this 8-track collection is a definitive document of creativity triumphing over adversity.
