Celebrity Sobriety

Coronation Street Star Kevin Kennedy on Sobriety and Bringing the ‘Bonkers’

AUDIO – STREET OF DREAMS –

Sept. 23, 2022 – But since turning his life around following a stint in The Priory rehab centre in 1998 he says his life has been full of “wonderful things”, including the fact his two daughters have never seen him drink. And he’s enjoying being able to act out on stage “all the excesses” of his nightclub owner character in the musical Rock of Ages “without any of the consequences”.

Kevin says of the part: “I play Dennis Dupree, who owns the club and he’s a very lovable reprobate. He is the master of excess, whether that be sex or drugs or booze. He’s quite charming, and he has a vested interest in bringing new artists through. But sometimes these excesses get in the way of that a little bit. He’s very, very promiscuous with members of both sexes. Well, you can’t say that anymore, can you? Put it this way, whatever presents itself to Dennis he sees as a challenge, sexually or alcohol or drug-wise.”

Rock of Ages is a musical comedy featuring classic rock anthems that is coming to Cambridge Arts Theatre from October 4-8. Songs include ‘We Built This City’, ‘The Final Countdown’, ‘Wanted Dead or Alive’, ‘Here I Go Again’, ‘Can’t Fight This Feeling’ and ‘I Want To Know What Love Is’, played by a live band.
