About this show
What if you got a lifetime opportunity... at 15?? Alexis dreams of escaping rural Germany and in 2013, he's cast in Wir Rocken Barcelona, a bona fide German Glee. Child stardom's in sight! With five other talented teens, Alexis's whisked off to Spain. But things aren't as they seem... Between in-cast beef and problematic producers, Alexis grapples with being a minor on TV, while holding onto his biggest secret... With new original songs and unearthed footage, join acclaimed musical comedian Alexis Sakellaris (A STAN IS BORN!) as he dives into his cringiest moments.
