Stay away. Review by: Dad, Jul 14, 2010 |
| Don't waste your money or time. Some of my favorite songs were just butchered. The singers are struggling to hit the right notes and there's no continuity. Horrible. |

Don't Go Review by: playbill, Jul 13, 2010 |
| This show had terrible choreography and the acting was pretty poor. The singing was good but I sat very bored during the show. Overall it wasn't the best experience. I went with 100 people as a group and only less than a 1/4 enjoyed it. It also ruined some of my favourite songs for me. |

A Great Time Was Had By All Review by: Dee, Jul 8, 2010 |
My step daughter was visiting us for a few days and asked to see a broadway play, after reviewing every one listed I chose Rock of Ages because it looked like it would appeal to my whole family (my husband is not a fan of broadway plays but enjoys the music of the 80's).
It was the best choice I could have made. What a great time we all had from my 17 year old to my 50 year old...we were so into it. Great music, good plot, great actors! ... read more EVERYONE was super. But my sugguestion is 16 and older. |

WHY Did this show CHANGE???????? Review by: Disappointed Fan, Jul 1, 2010 |
| WOW! What happened??? I saw this show 2 other times once off-broadway and the other on-broadway I LOVED this show both times. So I had my daughter and wife with me this time. We were warned about taking our daughter into the show but with me seeing it twice before and thought it was ok to take my daughter to see didn't think it would be any different than my wonderful experience. Was I WRONG!!! Did they re-do some parts of the show? Is the goal ... read more to state every curse word and offensive gesture that they can get way with on stage. WAY TO MUCH CURING AND OFFENSIVE BEHAVIORS ON STAGE. PLEASE DON'T Bring anyone UNDER 16 to this show unless you don't care about the excessive cursing and offensive gestures. I WILL Definitely heed the warnings next time of people around the theater before spending money on shows again. My wife said without Constantine, This show would be NOTHING. Constantine DEFINITELY MAKES THIS SHOW!!!He was great also and graciously took a picture with my daughter which she absolutely LOVED! GREAT for ADULTS NOT for KIDS!!!!! |

What a great show! Review by: Sabine, Rotterdam, Jun 11, 2010 |
| On Sunday June 6th we walked on Broadway and didn't know where to go. Then we saw there were still tickets available for Rock of Ages, a show we had never heard of before, but with music of the 80s it should be good. And good it was! What an excellent show with the singers and dancers. It couldn't have been better! Thanks to all of them and of course Joel Hoekstra, who must have Dutch parents! :-) |

Rockin Great Time! Review by: jojo, May 27, 2010 |
| I have seen this show 6 times I love it so much! The band ROCKS and Constantine's voice is unmatchable! James Carpinello is amazing, so is Mitchell Jarvis... I laughed to the point of tears. I cannot praise this show enough! |

Great show in the worst managed venue in NYC! Review by: delaw58, May 10, 2010 |
| Awesome show in the worst theater in New York. The music and acting were great. Unfortunately, the theater staff was among the worst I have ever encountered. They refused to remove a rowdy woman after she threatened my wife. The House Manager then questioned my integrity and dismissed me with a "sorry sir." Simply not good enough. I would see the show again in a minute but will never go to a Nederlander owned theater again. |

Fantastic Show - But don't take your 11 year old daughter! Review by: iCruiseUf, Apr 28, 2010 |
Our whole family loves 80's music and learned about this show from some friends. Looked online and saw it starred Constantine from American Idol. That's where I stopped reading and booked tickets for me, wife, 14-old son and 11 year old daughter.
Spent half the first act getting "what were you thinking looks" from my wife as she covered my daughter's eyes during every Stacey Jaxx and strip club scene. My 14-year old son had no issues and ... read more laughed loudly every time Mitchell Jarvis came on stage with a different t-shirt. I guess I should've read the disclaimer . . .
That being said, this was one of the most entertaining and memorable shows we've ever seen and we've seen a lot. Story was great, actors were amazing and likeable and the music rocked. We loved Emily Padgett in Grease with Taylor Hicks and loved her even more in ROA.
Every one was singing and dancing. By the end of the show, my wife had forgiven me for the raciness of Act 1 and the first part of Act II.
It was a fantastic show and we're planning on seeing it again when it tours down here in South Florida. Have been recommending to everyone. It's awesome.
Would highly recommend this for everyone, but again read the subject matter disclaimer first in case you're thinking about bringing anyone under 13. |

Beer, Sex and Heavy Metal - Welcome to the 80s! Review by: Max Headbanger, Apr 10, 2010 |
Beer in the audience? Flicking your Bic to show your appreciation? This is a Broadway show?? YEP! And what a great show it is - if you're a product of the 80's!
Ok the story is weak, I'm not even sure there is a story, but, if you go just for the music - like I did, you're going to have a great time.
Set lists includes: "We Built This City", "I Wanna Rock", "Don't Stop Believin'", "Cum On Feel the Noize", and, that just names a few!! ... read more
Leave the kiddies and the grandparents at home, this won't appeal to them!

Great experience Review by: travelnjules, Apr 1, 2010 |
| I saw the show this past weekend and it was really great. It was so much fun and there was so much energy from the cast and the audience shared in that. The guy subbing for Constantine...his name is Joey was so amazing. Why wasn't HE ever on American Idol. WOW those high notes! And cute. :-) Hope to see him other shows. |

Not worth it Review by: ., Mar 26, 2010 |
| After having the privilege of sitting next to a large group of rude drunks, I was already thrilled with the choice for the night. The music was so loud that it was difficult to enjoy it. I have no idea what the story was about and just found it overall disappointing. I like the concept with the music and everything, but overall thought found it to be a negative experience. I actually felt dumber after having watched it. |

ROA is the best show on earth.. Review by: sha-money, Mar 11, 2010 |
| Rock of Ages is the best show I have ever seen. Constantine is AMAZING in the show. What a voice. Mitchel Jarvis is the funniest person on earth, Adam Dannheisser is amazing, and the rest of the cast is so talented. I have seen the show 15 times and continue to go every week... If you love LAMA's you will love this show.. MUST SEE |
