About ten years ago I saw Rock of Ages live and it was the most fun theatre experience I’ve ever had, and one of the most fun of any kind of entertainment I’ve ever experienced. (The movie was a major letdown.) I wish there were more professional traveling productions of it because I want to take my adult children to see it.
Like everyone else says, this is a great show and an awesome time. Every time it comes around, we see it. The stage design and cast may change, but the show does not disappoint. Bring your friends and sing along!
We were stunned by all the talent in this cast. We’re were blown away by the creativity in how they formed such an entertaining story from all of our favorite 80s music!!! We want to go again with our friends. A must see!!!
Great music! great cast! love the Landmark Theater! ***** 5 stars
My husband and I thought it was fantastic. It was funny, witty and the songs were right on. The acting and singing were fantastic and the energy of the stage and audience was electric. I would absolutely recommend it to everyone!
Let my first statement be, I did enjoy the show. I was surprised to get a FB posting that this was coming to Buffalo and it was for one night only. I had previously seen this tour in 2013, and met the lead who played Drew. I was also fortunate enough to get seats in the first few rows. I found the stage to be clever, with the necessity to tear it down and put it up quickly from city to city. Listening to the actors, I found the music and vocals to be spot on, and enjoyable, with freshness added to the jokes and dialogue. Watching the show however, it did appear to me the actors were physically miscast. This was noticeable when they first appeared on stage. Drew and Sherry sang and performed flawlessly, but I thought these were the first two miscast as they deviated from my expectations of the characters. Stacee Jaxx I thought was also miscast, as the character appearance reminded me somehow of a rock and roll version of Rocky, from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The production itself, I wish was scheduled over a longer period of days, instead of the one night stand. Overall, it gave me the impression of a very good college performance. Our topic of discussion exiting the theater, was that this was a rushed tour put together for a night at a time, to have a 10 year anniversary tour. I own both the Broadway and movie versions of the sound track, and am very familiar with the show and its music, and this sound track is on my regular playlist. So, being familiar with the production, I did find the 2013 tour better. However, I still did enjoy this production and if the opportunity was there that it played over several nights, I would have attended again. If you like the music, if you like the decade, see this show. It's a great return to good times of the 80's. Go relive your youth !!!
This was such a fun show! The cast, the band, the 80's music .. everything was great about this show from start to finish. I even loved how some of the characters played to the audience. I would absolutely go see this show again and I'm glad I treated myself to some great seats.
One of the best shows out there!!! Will definitely see it again!!!
Music was louder than the voices. Could not understand a word. Left after first intermission. Wouldn't recommend it.
