After the Les Grossman role, prepare for even more dancing Tom Cruise on the big screen. Tom is closing in on a deal to star as Jaxx in the “Rock of Ages” musical. Jaxx is a character who sang Bon Jovi’s “Wanted: Dead or Alive”.
The Hollywood Reporter, reports.
We all know that Tom can dance good, but the question we all want to know is, can he sing? Yes, he can do that too. He always had a passion for music.

No casting announcement for the film version yet, but I’m willing to bet they will sign Constantine Maroulis for the film version too. I don’t see anybody else playing the Drew character other than Constantine.
