Broadway Star Goes with Rock Star Mickey
Constantine Maroulis, star of Rock of Ages and former finalist on American Idol, joined Fisher-Price, a subsidiary of Mattel, Inc., and Disney Consumer Products to bring down the house at D23 Expo in Anaheim, Calif.

“It was awesome to get to rock out with such a beloved, global icon. I know what it takes to get people up on their feet, and Rock Star Mickey really has all the right moves,” said Constantine.
“As a new dad and a musician who loves to rock, I think it’s important to help kids appreciate the magic of music and its impact on their lives. It’s great to see how Rock Star Mickey can get kids rockin’ at an early age.”
Rock Star Mickey, a follow-up to last year’s Dance Star Mickey, gives kids the chance to bring the concert home with them as he lights up the stage with his jammin’ guitar and rockin’ moves.
