Rock of Ages

Philip (02Nov11): While the simplistic book is reminiscent of a pantomime with more naked flesh and swearing. The songs are shoehorned in without so much as an apology and the 80’s references delivered as if presenting to a primary school. Still Rock of Ages was an enjoyable, fun evening at the theatre. The theatre attempts to make it more reminiscent of a rock concert than a musical play with staff walking the aisles selling bottles of beer to you at your seat (still at hugely inflated prices). You are provided with a small light in the shape of a lighter to use for those torch song moments. The whole audience was on it’s feet by the end (that or see nothing) singing along to ‘Don’t Stop Believing’
