– According to Metro, a musical based on Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will premiere at next week’s Vault Festival. The musical is set 30-years in the future and focuses on a teenage girl living in America under the leadership of “Emperor Trumpus.” The girl becomes obsessed with the idea & legend of The Rock, who is presented as “a teenage fantasy/religious role model hybrid.” The Rock will be portrayed by a puppet, while every other character is live-action. Producer Emma Shaw had the following to say on the production…

“The puppeteer for The Rock is quite a big lad, but he’s not quite The Rock, who has a very distinctive look. The eyebrow alone is one hell of an acting job,” Shaw said. “In the world that we’ve created, it’s not the real Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, it’s the teenage fantasy of him. In the script we call him ‘The Fairy RockMother.’ He appears when she needs him. He’s a really tough guy in the play who thinks he can take on everybody, but he’s still really small! Because it’s a musical and it’s fun, it works really well.”
