Doing the Time Warp: '80s Singers Populate Millennial Broadway

NEW YORK — A couple of Broadway shows recently faced a casting quandary: Where to find someone who can be scary, comfortable in lots of makeup and sing well at the same time? In the rock and pop pantheon of the '80s, of course.
How else to explain rockers of yore JOAN JETT and Sebastian Bach appearing on Broadway this year?

"Theater was one of the first things I was interested in as a kid, even before rock and roll," she told Broadway.com recently. "I was into theater in junior high school and putting on the school plays and things like that. So it's always something that's interested me."
